Peaches are full of potassium, an essential mineral that is needed by all tissues in the body including the brain. They are packed with vitamins including vitamins A, C, E, K, B1, B2, B3, and B6.

The B vitamins, in particular, are essential for optimal physiological and neurological functioning. Research has shown that vitamin B6 may play a role in the prevention of Parkinson’s Disease. That’s not all! Caffeic acid, an antioxidant specifically found in in peaches protects the brain from dangerous carcinogenic mold aflatoxin that’s often found in certain types of food like peanuts, corn and peanut butter.
