The Benefits of Eating Madjool Dates
Research continues to discover the power of antioxidants and the benefits of dates, including reducing the risk of certain diseases. Fortunately, Madjool dates are high in antioxidants offering much more than other similar fruits. Antioxidants work by protecting cells from “free radicals,” unstable molecules that cause harm to our bodies and potentially cause disease. Dates are rich in three different types of antioxidants. These are proven to help promote a healthy heart.
Especially as we get older, it is essential to get plenty of fiber in our diets. This can help keep our digestive system healthy, prevent constipation, and promote regular bowel movements by contributing to the formation of stool. Madjool dates are an easy and delicious way to increase fiber intake as they contain almost 7 grams of fiber per 3.5-ounce serving. Research has also shown that diets high in fiber can provide other heart health benefits, including reducing blood pressure.
When most people think of potassium, they think of bananas. However, ounce per ounce, Madjool dates may contain up to 50% more potassium than bananas. Potassium is part of any healthy diet as it is one of seven essential macrominerals. Your body needs potassium, and Madjool dates are a great way to ensure you are getting enough.
If you find yourself dragging in the afternoon, skip the coffee and grab some Madjool dates. A serving of dates (about 3.5 ounces) contains as many as 300 calories. And that energy boost should hit quickly since the glucose and fructose in dates are absorbed rapidly by the body. Even energy bar makers are getting in on this and including dates in their list of ingredients.
Madjool dates provide some particular benefits when added to your diet. But, more generally, they are packed with nutrition. 3.5 ounces of dates can contain up to 20% of the daily recommended allowance of potassium, 14% of protein, 18% of copper, 15% of manganese, 5% of iron, and 12% of the recommended daily allowance of vitamin B6. Spend some time researching all of the health benefits of the extensive list of vitamins and minerals, and you will find even more benefits of eating Madjool dates.
One of the largest date varieties, Medjool dates are great for those seeking a healthy, satisfying treat. Featuring a reddish-brown skin and amber-hued flesh, these popular gourmet dates are easily distinguishable from other varieties. They are also commonly referred to as ‘California Dates’ and benefit from a divine moist and plump texture.
