Why are dates good for you?
Dates are an excellent source of nutrition. Studies show that adding two to three organic dates to the daily diet is beneficial for humans. Dates are naturally full of essential minerals such as copper, magnesium, manganese, zinc, calcium, iron, and potassium, which help regulate blood pressure, reduce the risk of chronic diseases, and strengthen bones.
Copper
An important mineral for our organs, copper helps the production of red blood cells, forms collagen that is an essential protein for bones and tissues and supports the immune system.
Magnesium
Vital for healthy bones and the efficient functioning of nerves and muscles, low magnesium levels are often linked to chronic conditions such as osteoporosis, heart disease and diabetes.
Zinc
This mineral plays an essential part in regular body maintenance, including vital immune functions. Low levels of zinc is often associated with dietary issues and chronic diseases.
Calcium
An essential part of our bones and teeth, calcium is also necessary for nerves to carry signals between the brain and body. Calcium deficiency is linked to muscle cramps and osteoporosis.
Iron
This mineral transports oxygen and carbon dioxide to and from cells all over the body. Low iron levels often leads to heart complications, problems during pregnancy as well as growth issues for children.
Potassium
Contributing to several functions in the body, including transmission of nerve signals, potassium plays a role in regulating blood pressure and can reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
Dates for health
Dates are perhaps best known for their high levels of dietary fiber. Experts recommend consuming about 25 grams of dietary fiber per day alone, and dates are a great option. Compared to other fruits, dates have high polyphenols, which act as natural antioxidants that improve overall digestion and reduce inflammation. Dates are the richest source of dietary nutrients which support many biochemical and cellular functions of the body and optimize and maintain blood pressure. Recently, researchers found encouraging evidence that antioxidants, dietary fiber, and phytochemical compounds in dates can help protect the body against many types of cancer.
