Date, an irreplaceable blessing of the Ramadan table, is a rich source of energy.
Medianews.az reports that this has been proven by scientific research.
Date provides the energy and balance the body needs after long-term fasting. It regulates blood sugar at iftar, slowly transferring energy to the blood thanks to its natural sugar content, providing balanced strength throughout the day. At suhoor, it extends the feeling of fullness.
Rich in vitamins B1 and B2, date positively affects liver functions. Low sodium and high potassium content protect cardiovascular health, reduce the risk of high blood pressure, and support vascular elasticity.
Also, rich in fiber, date regulates digestion and reduces feelings of thirst due to its water-retaining properties. For this reason, it is often included in diet lists.
The natural glucose contained is the main energy source for the brain and can reduce headaches and weakness feelings arising during fasting. B-group vitamins strengthen the nervous system.
Rich in minerals like magnesium, manganese, copper, and selenium, date helps bone development and is considered a natural support against the risk of bone loss.
Experts recommend the measured consumption of dates throughout Ramadan.
