Peaches are delicious, nutritious, and belong in a health-promoting diet. However, there is no evidence that peaches or any other single food are good for losing belly fat. Patterns of fat storage on the body are individual and based on factors like genetics and hormones and these fat storage patterns are not well controlled by diet. While it is possible to reduce the size of the fat cells we already have, once fat cells are formed, they can not be eliminated by diet or exercise. Obesity researchers suggest that the number of fat cells remains constant in adulthood in both lean and overweight individuals, even after weight loss.
