Dates are delicious fruits and they are rich in nutrients. But we are not so familiar with the fact that this fruit can help us lose weight. The benefit of dates is that if you chew them long enough you can stop cravings. Dates are considered as elixirs of youth and health and mostly, they are very beneficial for improving digestion, constipation problems and some other belly issues.
Dates are abundant in magnesium which means they lessen inflammation along with swelling and pain. The magnesium in dates reduces the artery inflammation and the risk for heart issues and inflammation problems, arthritis, Alzheimer’s and more. You need to consume them regularly in order to lose weight and to be satiated too.
Here is the Recipe
Ingredients needed:
- 3 plums
- 3 dates
- 1 tablespoons of flaxseed ground
Method of preparation:
You need to put everything in a blender and blend until everything is mixed very well. Eat this mixture before the main meal for a period of 2 whole weeks. Then you need to make a pause for another 2 weeks and repeat the same way if it’s needed. Consuming this mixture also lessens the colon cancer risk and hemorrhoids too.
Due to the fact that dates have fibers, they help in losing weight. However, keep in mind that they are sweet and have a lot of calories. If you add more fiber you will lose more weight, as advised by the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition from their edition in 2009.
