Incredible Health Benefit Of Eating Dates Fruit

 
Promoting Digestive Health, Relieving Constipation
Fiber is essential for promoting colon health and making for regular bowel movements. The insoluble and soluble fiber found in dates help to clean out the gastrointestinal system, allowing the colon to work at greater levels of efficiency. Some other benefits relating to fiber and colon health are reduced risks of colitis, colon cancer, and hemorrhoids. (Dates could even be coupled with other home remedies for hemorrhoids.

Anti-Inflammatory
Dates are rich in magnesium – a mineral known for its anti-inflammatory benefits. One study found that “inflammatory indicators in the body such as CRP (C-reactive protein), TNF (tumor necrosis factor alpha), and IL6 (interleukin 6) were all reduced when magnesium intake was increased.” Further, inflammation in the arterial walls was also reduced with magnesium intake. Based on magnesium’s anti-inflammatory properties and the findings of this study, magnesium can effectively reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, arthritis, Alzheimer’s disease, and other inflammation-related health ailments.

Cholesterol and Fat
Dates are free from cholesterol and do not contain excessive fat amounts.
You can easily substitute fatty food items with dates, which gives you much more nutrition for the same amount of calories.

Proteins
Dates provide readily assimilable proteins that are required by the body.
They are a rich source of the nutrients which are the main building blocks for muscles.
Dates provide us with plenty of proteins, which are in turn very essential for the regular functioning of the body.

Provide bone-strengthening vitamins and minerals
If you want to strengthen your bones and prevent osteoporosis and bone-related fractures later in life, then dates should be on the menu. They are a great source of manganese and magnesium, both of which are required for healthy bone development. Low intakes of manganese is associated with poor bone formation, and magnesium is needed to convert vitamin D into its active form so that calcium can be absorbed by the body.

Great blood-builders
Why take pills, when you can improve your iron stores with dates? Low iron levels can cause iron-deficiency anemia, which eventually leads to peeling nails, dizziness, fatigue, and pale skin. Thankfully, dates have impressive iron levels, making them a great snack for anemic patients, helping to improve strength, energy, and banish feelings of fatigue.

Natural energy booster
If dates aren’t a great energy booster, then I don’t know what is! Dates contain natural sugars like fructose and glucose, making them a great pre- or post-workout snack (I like blending them with water to make a “dateorade”) or simply as a mid-day pick-me-up (like that late-afternoon 4pm crash most people experience)

Treats anaemia
Dates are rich in iron which makes them an extremely useful supplement for individuals suffering from anaemia. Dates can easily balance out iron deficiencies in the body among anaemic patients improving night blindness as well as increasing the body’s energy levels. This in turn eliminates the sluggishness and fatigue associates with anaemia.

Boosts sexual health
Numerous studies indicate that dates increase sexual stamina when mixed with goat milk and soaked overnight and then taken in the morning alongside honey and cardamom powder. This mixture has been a very popular tonic for decades thanks to it’s effectiveness in increasing sexual endurance as well as reducing sterility caused by a number of sexual disorders. The role of dates in boosting sexual health can be attributed to flavonoid and estradiol components found in dates. These components have been proven to increase testes size, weight, sperm count as well as motility.

They can be useful in the later stages of pregnancy
A University research has found that eating dates in the final four weeks of pregnancy significantly reduced the need for labour to be induced.

Eating dates can reduce the risk of stroke
Researchers, from American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, who combined the results of several different studies, published over a fourteen year period, found that the results suggested that the magnesium contained in dates could reduce the risk of stroke by nearly 10%.
