Get a date today!
The humble date may look like a nondescript dry fruit, but it is packed with health benefits. High in vitamins, minerals, iron and fluorine, make dates a regular part of your diet, especially if you are battling cholesterol problems. Here are some health benefits associated with dates...
Apart from having low fat levels, dates have a lot of protein and dietary fibre and are rich in vitamin B1, B2, B3, B5, A1 and C. They are known to improve the digestive system since they have soluble and insoluble fibres as well as several types of amino acids. Feeling low on energy by the time it’s early evening? Help yourself to some dates — they contain natural sugars like glucose, sucrose and fructose. With high sources of potassium and low levels of sodium, dates keep your nervous system healthy while the iron content is beneficial for those suffering from anaemia. The fluorine in dates is known to delay tooth decay. If you constantly suffer from constipation, take a handful of dates and soak them overnight. Have them with water the next morning for relief.
