In the past, in Eastern and African countries, dates were highly valued for their taste, nutritional value and health benefits.
Now, for most people, fruits are just a sweet treat, but nutritionists advise taking a closer look at them.

Dates are rich in amino acids, which have a positive effect on brain function.
The fruits improve memory and learning ability, support the health of the nervous system, and are therefore extremely useful for people engaged in mental work.
Dates also reduce the risk of disruption of connections between brain cells, which is the cause of Alzheimer's disease, so the fruit is good for older people.
Supports heart and vascular health
Dates strengthen the heart and blood vessels, reduce the level of "bad" cholesterol, the risk of developing pathology and blood clots, help reduce blood pressure, normalize blood composition and blood circulation.
So the fruits are useful for people with anemia and hypertension, as well as for healthy people for the prevention of cardiovascular diseases.
Helps regulate weight
Dried dates are part of many diets. The fruits are high in calories and rich in fiber, so they quickly satisfy hunger and give a feeling of satiety for a long time. It is best to eat them in the first half of the day to use up the calories.
The main thing is not to overeat, otherwise you will gain extra pounds. In addition, the fruits are sweet, so they help those on a diet to give up chocolate and cakes. Dates are also useful for ladies who lose weight with the help of sports, as they replenish strength after a hard workout.
Strengthen bones and joints
Dates strengthen bones and reduce the risk of fractures. In old age, when bone tissue is thinned or even damaged by osteoporosis, the fruits will be especially useful.
They are also useful for children, since the minerals contained in the fruits help form bones. Dates also strengthen the musculoskeletal system as a whole.

After illnesses and operations, the fruits serve as a good tonic and help to recover faster.
