sugars are easily digestible.
Hence, there are many health benefits of dates that make them a good addition to
any diet.
Some additional Medjool dates benefits are:
Reduction in cholesterol
Medjool dates have a high quantity of soluble and insoluble fibre. Fibre reduces
the absorption of LDL cholesterol, and consequently prevent strokes, heart attacks
and heart disease. Research conducted in Israel has proven that dates contain
certain phenolics that inhibit LDL oxidation and cholesterol removal from
macrophage cells.
Relief from constipation
Dates contain a large quantity of soluble fibre which add bulk to stool and help it
move faster through the intestine. This regularises bowel movements, and provides
relief from constipation naturally.
Replenishment of energy
Another dates nutrition facts is that Medjools contain high amounts of simple
sugars such as glucose, fructose, and sucrose, which can be easily processed by the
body. These sugars provide us with instant energy, helping us stay fit and active
throughout the day.
Additionally, they can be added to snacks, meals and drinks as a natural sweetener,
thus reducing excess consumption of refined sugar.
Reduction of triglycerides
Medjools are high in anti-oxidative properties. According to a study published in
the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, due to their anti-oxidative
properties, the consumption of Medjool dates reduces blood triglyceride levels by
approximately eight percent.
Boosts bone health
Another health benefits of dates is their high calcium and phosphorus content.
The body uses phosphorus to grow, repair and maintain the cells of the body.
Calcium is used by the body to develop bones and teeth. Hence, consuming
Medjools helps strengthen bones and teeth and prevents diseases associated with
them.
Consumption of Medjool dates has many benefits that make it a worthy addition to
a healthy and wholesome diet.
