Updated: Jul 26, 2019



Dates are ones of the healthiest fruits you can consume, as they are rich in beneficial properties that treat various health issues, including hypertension, heart attacks, strokes, and high cholesterol.


They also accelerate the metabolism. Here are 8 of their health benefits:


Dates prevent diarrhea

Dates are high in potassium, which prevents diarrhea by the healthy bacteria and thus relieving the belly flora and the intestines.


Extremely useful in the case of anemia, pregnancy, and for children. 100 grams of dates daily will provide 0.9 mg of iron, which is about 11 % of the recommended daily intake of iron.


Iron has a beneficial effect on the red blood cells and hemoglobin and helps the oxygen flow through the blood.


Dates prevent strokes

The high potassium content in these fruits enhances the nervous system and prevents strokes. Hence, the daily intake of 400 mg of potassium successfully prevents strokes.


Dates for heart health

Soak the dates in water during the night, and in the morning eat them or add them to your smoothie to support heart health.


Dates soothe constipation

Dates are extremely useful in the case of constipation. You should keep them in some water overnight, and then drink the water in the morning to help digestion, and use their mild laxative properties.


Dates help weight loss

The consumption of dates on an empty stomach will help you control your body weight, as they contain no cholesterol.
