Promoting Heart & Brain Health
Jena Jason of Fruit Baskets Dumbo
If you’re looking for fiber, potassium, or copper, look no further than dates. While dates are rich in many vital nutrients and therefore offer many health benefits, the fruit is so small that you’ll need to consume a larger quantity to intake the necessary amount.
Anti-Inflammatory – Dates are rich in magnesium – a mineral known for its anti-inflammatory benefits. One study found that ”inflammatory indicators in the body such as (C-reactive protein), (tumor necrosis factor alpha), and (interleukin 6) were all reduced when magnesium intake was increased.” Further, inflammation in the arterial walls was also reduced with magnesium intake.
Boosting Brain Health – Some studies, such as one found in Internal Medicine, found that sufficient vitamin B6 levels are associated with improved brain performance and better test scores.
Boosting Heart Health – In addition to promoting colon health, fiber is also known to boost heart health
Healthy Pregnancy and Delivery- After studying 69 women for a year and 1 month, the researchers found that “the consumption of date fruit in the last 4 weeks before labor significantly reduced the need for induction and augmentation of labor, and produced a more favorable, but non-significant, delivery outcome. The results warrant a randomized controlled trial.”
Promoting Digestive Health, Relieving Constipation – Fiber is essential for promoting colon health and making for regular bowel movements. The insoluble and soluble fiber found in dates help to clean out the gastrointestinal system, allowing the colon to work at greater levels of efficiency.
Reduced Blood Pressure – Magnesium has been shown to help lower blood pressure – and again, dates are full of the mineral.
Reduced Stroke Risk – After evaluating 7 studies published over a 14 year time period, researchers found stroke risk was reduced by 9% for every every 100 milligrams of magnesium a person consumes per day.
