Dates have a wide range of health and nutritional benefits, which is why many say they are the healthiest fruit on the planet. There is almost no disease that dates cannot help.
An excellent source of iron
Anemic patients should eat as many dates as possible, as they are an excellent source of iron. About 100 g of dates contain about 0,90 mg of iron, which is about 11 percent of the recommended daily intake. Iron, as a part of hemoglobin inside red blood cells, determines the carrying capacity of oxygen in the blood. Puberty children and pregnant women have the greatest need for iron.
They stop diarrhea
Dates contain potassium, which is useful in stopping diarrhea. In addition, dates help to restore the intestinal flora as quickly as possible. By regularly taking dates, you will make it easier for the intestines to create good bacteria.
Remedy for hard stool
As well as stopping diarrhea, dates can help digest food faster and easier. It is necessary to take a few dates and put them in clean water in the evening. During the night, the dates will release their juice, which is an excellent laxative, which will stimulate the lazy intestines. In the US, dates are factory packed into small vials as medicine and prescribed for constipation.
They regulate body weight
Due to the high content of nutrients, dates cause a feeling of satiety in humans and help with weight loss. If you eat a date on an empty stomach, it will regulate the bowels and give the body the sugar it needs. Dates don't have cholesterol, but they do have a lot of sugar, so eating too many dates could make you gain weight. A kilogram of dates contains close to 3.000 calories, which represents the minimum daily needs of a person who is active all day.
Lowers cholesterol
Dates have the ability to reduce the level of LDL bad cholesterol in the body. That's why this is an excellent food for people with high cholesterol, which causes fatty deposits in the arteries, which lead to the formation of blood clots and other heart diseases.
Strengthening the heart
People with a weak heart can use this amazing fruit. During the night, soak dates with seeds in water. In the morning, remove the seeds from the dates, grind them in a blender together with the water in which they stood during the night. Take this natural remedy several times a day to strengthen the heart.
They lower blood pressure
Dates are a very suitable food for people suffering from high blood pressure. They contain very little sodium and are rich in potassium. A standard serving of five or six dates provides about 80 milligrams of magnesium, an essential mineral that helps dilate blood vessels. Research shows that 370 mg of magnesium per day can lower blood pressure.
Protects against stroke
One of the key benefits of dates is their ability to regulate the work of the nervous system, thanks to their rich potassium content. Studies have shown that a higher intake of potassium (about 400 mg) can reduce the risk of stroke by 40 percent.
Increases sexual stamina
Soak a handful of dates in goat's milk and let it stand overnight. In the morning, mix the dates with milk, add honey and cardamom (a type of spice). This syrup can be drunk by people of both sexes, because it strengthens the body and increases the energy level, reports Super Woman.
