Dates are a favorite delicacy of many.

The product is not only tasty, but also very healthy.

The fact is that such fruits are rich in dietary fiber, which has a positive effect on the state of the intestines. In addition, dates improve sleep and have a great effect on the condition of the skin.

Nutritionist Angelique Duval spoke about this during an interview for Sputnik radio.

The doctor added that dates are also a great energy booster.

But you shouldn't overdo it with the product either. It's enough to eat 3-4 dates a day.

What is the reason for this? The answer is simple. The whole problem is the high calorie content of this delicacy. There are almost 300 calories in 100 grams. If you overdo it with dates, this can lead to problems with the gastrointestinal tract.

If you have diabetes, ulcers, or other ailments, you should first consult a specialist and only then add dates to your diet.

It is better to choose dark fruits that need to be washed before eating. The sticky layer can be a good place for bacteria to develop.

Dates should be eaten separately so that they can be digested properly. They can be combined with fruits or vegetables.
