There are so many concerns recently about the consumption of sugar and artificial sweeteners. They have been linked to such a wide variety of health issues and are one of the hardest addictions to overcome. Problems are also caused from what many people consider ’natural ingredients’ such as maple syrup, honey, corn syrup, agave nectar and stevia (an upcoming blog post will tell how not all stevia is created equal). A natural alternative to these problems is dates!! They are a whole food that is good for us. They are high in fiber along with several vitamins and minerals. They contain potassium, phosphorous, calcium, iron, manganese, copper and magnesium. Eating one date a day helps prevent constipation, intestinal disorders, heart problems, sexual dysfunction, diarrhea and colon cancer. Dates provide natural energy because the fiber content allows for a steady release of the valuable nutrients. Dates are even good for your eyesight and help prevent night blindness.
