1, the iron content of peach ranks first among fruits.
There is a folk saying that "peaches nourish people and apricots hurt people". Because peaches are rich in vitamins, minerals and fruit acids, their iron content ranks first among fruits. Iron is the main raw material for human hematopoiesis, which is quite beneficial to health.

3, watermelon-clearing heat and relieving summer heat, diuresis
There is a folk proverb in our country: eat watermelon in summer, don't catch medicine. It shows that summer is the best time to eat watermelon. Watermelon is rich in vitamins A, B 1, B2, C, glucose, sucrose, malic acid, glutamic acid and arginine. It has the effects of clearing away heat and relieving summer-heat, inducing diuresis and lowering blood pressure, and has certain auxiliary effects on high fever and thirst, summer heat and sweating, nephritis, oliguria and hypertension.
Although watermelon is good, Chinese medicine experts believe that watermelon is a cold food, which is easy to hurt the spleen and stomach. Therefore, people with spleen and stomach weakness, chronic enteritis, gastritis and duodenal ulcer or loose stool had better eat less. Normal people should not eat more, otherwise it will damage the spleen and stomach and cause indigestion or diarrhea.
Need to be reminded that patients with colds and fever in summer often use watermelon to replenish water and reduce fever, but because it belongs to sweet and cold food, it is not suitable for colds and early colds, especially those with symptoms such as chills and sweating.
