Is peach a cold fruit?

Peaches are a kind of fruit we often eat. The nutritional value of this fruit is very high. We eat peaches in summer because summer is the season when peaches are ripe. Most people prefer to eat nectarines because nectarines are easier to clean. But in fact, peaches taste more delicious than nectarines and are particularly warming. So is peach a cold fruit?

In this hot summer, I believe that many people, like me, particularly like to eat cold things, and fruit is one of them. Speaking of fruits, we have to mention peaches. I believe many people will think of the bright red color, cute appearance, fragrant taste, and sweet peach juice. Peaches are not only good-looking, but also delicious, so they are definitely able to attract many foodies! But the problem is that some people with cold body are hesitant and don’t know what kind of fruit peaches are. They look at the juicy peaches but dare not try them at all. So are peaches considered cold fruits?

The answer is no. Peach flesh tastes sweet and sour, and is warm in nature. It enters the stomach and large intestine meridians. It has the effects of nourishing yin, promoting body fluid, moistening dryness and activating blood circulation. It can be seen that peach is not cool in nature but warm in nature. Generally speaking, people with a hot constitution have a high metabolism in the summer, their sympathetic nervous system is dominant, they sweat a lot, often have red faces, dry mouths, irritability, and constipation, and they especially like to eat cold things in the summer. However, it should be noted that people with a hot constitution should not try to eat peaches. Peaches are hot fruits. Eating too much can easily cause internal heat, and in severe cases, it can even cause sores on the body. So eat them with care!

However, for people with weak and cold constitution, they have weak qi and spleen, low basal metabolic rate, less heat generated in the body, and their limbs are cold even in summer. Comparatively speaking, people of this type have paler complexions than normal people, rarely feel thirsty, and do not like to come into contact with cold things, including entering air-conditioned rooms. Therefore, eating more peaches is undoubtedly a good way to replenish the cold for these people!
