Proven health Benefits of Dates

1. Extremely nutrient rich : 3-4 dates provide about 200 calories, 54g of carbohydrates with about 5g of fiber content, a gram of protein, & no fat at all. Having at least 3-4 dates a day also supplies smaller amounts of these nutrients vitamins B, vitamin K, calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, zinc, and manganese. In other words, dates aren’t simply sugar bombs or empty calories they are much more than that. 

2. Dates are naturally sweet and provide no added sugar : Dates are fresh fruits actually, since no water is removed or added. And because dates are whole, unprocessed fruit, their sugar content is naturally occurring. In other words, if an energy bar is sweetened only with dates, the label can list 0 grams of added sugar. It is an alternative to jaggery as a sweetening ingredient. 

3. Dates support digestive health : Dates are a great source of fiber , your body needs a minimum of 25-30% fiber in your diet to maintain good digestive health. Only 3 dates constitute 18 % fiber content which means if you’ve ever experienced constipation, you know how it can wreak havoc with your energy level and overall comfort. Dates can be a simple way to get things moving.
