Anti-ageing Benefits:
Dates are a rich source of antioxidants, which can effectively counter the harmful free radicals in the body, thus preventing premature ageing of skin. Vitamin C, in particular, helps to decrease the occurrence of wrinkles by resisting oxidation and preventing the accumulation of melanin inside the human body.

Beneficial for Pregnant Women:
Dates also offer several benefits during pregnancy. Being rich in iron, dates prevent anaemia in the would-be-mother as well as the foetus. They also cause an improvement in the uterus muscles, allowing it to enlarge in a smooth manner. Dates also improve the mother’s milk by providing adequate nutrition to it. They prevent haemorrhage soon after childbirth.

Good For The Heart:
Soaking dates at night and eating them crushed in the morning is beneficial for a weak heart. When consumed twice a week, these tiny storehouses of health help in building up the heart. Besides, they are a rich source of potassium which has been shown to reduce the risk of stroke and other heart diseases. They prevent heart disease, heart attack and stroke by reducing the levels of LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol) in the body

Energy Boosters.
Dates are rich in natural sugars, including glucose, fructose, and sucrose, and these sugars make them a perfect and quick energy boosting snack. So, the next time you find yourself reaching for an energy bar, skip it and eat a couple of dates instead. The fibers present in dates will keep your energy up and help you stay active through the day.

They Improve Digestion.
Dates contain soluble fibers in a high amount, which is essential for a healthy digestive system. The soluble fibres help in drawing water into the digestive tract. This helps to relieve constipation. Fibers are essential for promoting colon health and for regular bowel movement. They also reduce the risk of colon cancer, colitis, and haemorrhoids (many people consider dates as an effective home remedy to treat hemorrhoids).
