A milkshake with dates is ideal for breakfast or a snack and can fuel you for the rest of the day.
Dates. A fruit that we know mainly as dried , as we also consume it. It has many and important health benefits, as it is a rich source of energy , while it contains proteins , plant fibers and various micronutrients .
Dates are also higher in antioxidant polyphenols than other dried fruits, and nutrition and wellness expert Samantha Cassetti explains to Well Good online magazine how important this is. “These antioxidants act as prebiotics , so they break down into food for the beneficial bacteria in your gut, and all roads to health start with a healthy gut .”
“Your gut regulates inflammation, immune system function, blood sugar and cholesterol levels , bone mass and mood, so if your gut health is suffering, there’s a good chance your body isn’t at its best. “, he adds.
