In nutrition science, consuming foods in their season is an important issue, because the nutritional value of foods is higher when they are produced in their season. The “American Heart Association” has also confirmed the same point and has recommended the consumption of some autumn foods, which we will examine the properties of dates here.

Best season to consume dates:

According to Salamat News, quoting from Atiye Nou weekly, as much as consuming dates in the summer season causes problems such as acne, sensitivity, excess calories and feeling tired, it is great to consume them in the fall season. The first and most important reason is the provision of carbon hydrate (sugar) and energy necessary for the body in the cold season. Each date has 20 calories and contains five grams of carbohydrates and 2.8 milligrams of calcium. If you are not overweight, your blood concentration is not high, and you are not allergic to food, you can eat up to five dates a day. Dates also help regulate body metabolism.

The risk of heart attack is higher in the cold seasons of the year. But the antioxidants in Kurma Medjool Shah Alam increase the flexibility of the walls of the vessels and reduce the risk of heart attack. “Isoflavone” present in dates also reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

Note: If your blood concentration is high, be careful when consuming dates. This is because the amount of iron in this fruit is high and increases blood concentration.

You don’t get fat

Dates regulate blood cholesterol levels. On the other hand, it makes the body resistant to “oxidative stress”, i.e. the destructive effect left over from food decomposition; Therefore, the risk of many types of cancer is reduced. These features are present in healthy people and in people with high cholesterol.

It flows smoothly

High blood pressure is another disease that consumption of dates can help regulate. The main reason is the high potassium content of dates. Each date contains about 160 mg of potassium. Of course, the amount of potassium is different in different types of dates; But its types contain a good amount of potassium. This element strengthens the muscles of the heart and veins and improves their function, thereby controlling blood pressure.

The diet of heart patients is not only based on the reduction of the symptoms of this disease, but in a way it also initiates the treatment process. The heart is one of the most important organs that largely loses its optimal function under the influence of bad eating habits. In addition, if you do not follow a healthy diet, the possibility of worsening heart diseases is very high. Although exercise has a great effect on heart health, until we eliminate unhealthy, high-calorie and fat-filled foods, there is less exercise that can keep us safe from the risks and heart disease. That is why how to adopt the diet of heart patients is a hot topic in medical circles, in order to achieve prevention, treatment and recovery.
