Dates are a traditional food during Ramadan, offering several benefits for those fasting.
Dates provide a quick energy boost due to natural sugars like fructose and glucose, without causing excessive blood sugar spikes.
The fiber in dates prolongs the feeling of fullness, preventing overeating during iftar or suhoor.
Dates help maintain body fluid balance with potassium and electrolytes, preventing dehydration.
High dietary fiber in dates aids digestion, preventing constipation, and supports the growth of good bacteria in the intestines.
Antioxidants, magnesium, and potassium in dates support heart health and reduce the risk of heart disease.
