addicted to dates...

Ok..as of recently i started to get addicted to dates..no..not going out with boys kinda dates..Dates as in the fruit..one of the favourite fruit of our beloved Prophet (pbuh)..

Here are some facts on dates:


- it is high in potassium (meaning it helps those with constipation) and also contains phosphorus, magnesium, calcium and iron.

- As for vitamins, it contains Vitamin A, Vitamin K, Niacin, Folate and Choline.

- One date is about 20 calories

- It is a good source of energy

- It is easily digested

- It is good for intestinal health as in it helps to establish a colony of friendly bacteria in the intestines.

- It is good to strengthen the heart

- Though it is sweet, it does not attract ants at all

- It could be kept at room temperature or even in the fridge for a very long time without spoiling

- now this one is pretty interesting though I am not sure if it is true or not…. it could be used to make a tonic to improve sexual stamina and sterility due to functional disorders.

Imagine that, dates could help your sex life! Forget the little blue pill and have more dates…
