Dates benefits
Dates
Get any better relationship with yourself and get some dates. Now my first time seeing dates they look like some down South Asian roaches. But when I taste it them in 2010 I couldn't believe I lived without trying these. We have to start doing things out of our comfort zone this way we can grow. Days have been a staple food around Africa and Southwest Asia for thousands of years. This week fruit grows on a tree that looks exactly like a palm tree.
When a day tree is mature it can make 150 lb to 300 lb of dates. Definitely plan on getting me a date tree for sure. You actually can use these days to replace sugars because it is a whole food. If you have never tried dates in your sweet potatoes you don't know what you missing. What I do is I boil the dates until they are soft. Put them into a blender until it becomes date paste. Then add them until a blender.
Dates are great for digestion especially constipation, bloating, indigestion, irritable bowel syndrome ibs, hemorrhoids, fiber AKA prebiotics etc
Assists with digestion, constipation, bloating, gas, acid reflux, reduces candida overgrowth, fiber aka prebiotics etc. A prebiotic is fiber which one exist in fruits, vegetables, herbs, spices, nuts, seeds etc. Fiber is not found in any form of meat I’m talking about seafood, fried kangaroo pouch, chicken, boiled platypus beak/ tail, beef, snake scales, pork, BBQ turtle back, bison, smoked patrick starfish legs, turkey, stir goose neck, elf, deer etc.
You whole digestive tract from your mouth to your anus has microbiota. Which has bacteria, fungi, viruses etc which have good and bad functions. Whenever the bad functions happen problems will happen. You may have heard of someone having H pyloi or candida. The majority of people have H pyloi and everyone has candida. It's the overgrowth of these bacteria that are the problem.
Prebiotics is what the bacteria mainly feeds on, probiotics are the bacteria and postbiotics are the byproducts of probiotics. Examples of postbiotics byproducts are bacterial lysates (bacteria compounds) , cell wall fragments, cell-free supernatants (bacteria and yeast compounds), exopolysaccharides, lipopolysaccharides, serotonin (90% of the production), short-chain fatty acids ,Vitamin B1 thiamine, Vitamin B5 panthotenic acid, Vitamin B7 biotin, Vitamin B9 folate, Vitamin K etc.
Interesting enough they have build a $50,000,000,000 plus industry mainly based off of people being uneducated or miseducated on their health. This is why education has to become a mandatory it shouldn't be seen as optional.
Fiber is a carbohydrate that has 4 calories. Over 90% of people do not get into fiber in daily. There are 3 forms of fiber soluble, insoluble and resistance starch but we will focus on the first two. Soluble fiber dissolves in water and insoluble doesn’t. Soluble fiber creates a gel when it dissolves also is good for cholesterol and sugar. Insoluble fiber attracts water into your feces that makes it softer and more simple to defecate without stain. Besides not getting enough fiber not getting enough water leads to constipation. Insoluble fiber also helps increase insulin sensitivity.
Plants usually contain a mixture of both types. It’s mixed views on if you should count fiber for or against your total calorie intake. Since soluble fiber feeds the bacteria some say it should be counted towards are total calories. Some say even with that it shouldn’t count towards are total calories but substracted. To keep it safe instead of multiplying 4 calories per gram with fiber multiple by 1.5 or 2.
They are great for energy and won't give you a blood sugar crash. 9 dates will give you over 20% of the potassium you need in a day. Cardiovascular disease is the number one called a death which takes a life every 33 seconds. 7 seconds later someone is having a stroke or heart attack. Cardiovascular disease is decreased by consuming more potassium which is the heart mineral. But 98% of people do not get enough in. And for the record bananas are not a good source of potassium. Two bananas has less potassium than one avocado.
Potassium and sodium have an inverse relationship. Consuming more potassium decreases sodium and consuming more sodium decreases potassium. If you are having high blood pressure potassium is life-changing for you. And it's not about the added sodium sodium is in the majority of processed foods / drinks just like sugar.
They contain lutein and zeaxanthin carotenoids that are that are found in the retina. Which helps convert sunlight into signals so the brain can interpret what we are viewing. These are the only carotenoids that are concentrate in the body. These carotenoids absorb excess light. Since the majority of people have phones we need to constantly be consuming these to help reduce the effects of the blue light that we get from technology.
They also contains in antioxidants which help reduce free radicals. Free radicals are a natural part of cell metabolism. But too many of them causes of oxidative stress which is damaging. Anytime there is free radicals there is some form of inflammation. Think of free radicals as fire🔥 antioxidants as water 💦.
If you are pregnant consuming this fruit a few weeks before your due date will help with labor. Dates will help regulate blood sugar, total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol etc. The copper in them helps make red blood cells, produce melanin, helps connective tissues/blood vessels, great for collagen production, speeds of wound healing, absorb iron etc
