Best way to eat dates? Some experts have recommended soaking dates overnight, 8-10 hours before eating them. This is because dates, being a true dried fruit, contain a very low water content. By soaking them, it makes it easier to absorb the nutrients from them, while also reducing digestive issues for those who experience them. If you forgot to soak them overnight, you can also soak them for 10-20 minutes in warm water before eating. For people with diabetes or blood sugar issues, it's generally recommended to consume dates as part of a balanced meal that includes fiber, protein, and healthy fats. This will help to slow down sugar absorption and minimize rapid blood sugar spikes. For such individuals, you should also avoid eating dates on an empty stomach or as a standalone snack, as this may lead to more significant blood sugar fluctuations. However, if you do not have diabetes and you are not at risk of diabetes, consuming two dates first thing in the morning is actually recommended.

I started adding 2 dates to my oatmeal everyday and my blood test results came back perfect, have been doing this for 3 months now

Myself and my husband consume many dates daily,😊 as we live in Tunisia 🇹🇳 & they grow in abundance all around us!❤ We also have 2 fig trees in our garden, & 2 Pomegranate trees, my husband probably eats 10-15 dates a day, he is 74 very fit & active, walks 8-10 kms daily. We have lived here for 11 years now. 😊

In islam teachings 7 dates is the best If you wanna go less it should go 1 / 3 / 5 / 7 The best time is breakfast on a empty stomach In the middle east dates are essential to our diet

How can anyone eat only 2 dates. I eat the whole packet they are so good

In 1980 I was employed to direct a large project in Kuwait, and since dates were readily available, I acquired the habit of eating two dates at breakfast time. I am still continuing this, though now living in Italy. At the age of 85, no one believes it when they discover this, my doctor included.

I am diabetic i have been eating 2 a day for 1 month and 7 days my blood sugar has never been under control until now.

My sugar levels and energy level have definitely improved immensely. I started this before seeing this video way back in September 2023 when I met a date farmer from Abu Dhabi who recommended and advised me to take 1-2 dates a day ❤. A friend of mine shared this video with me and I made sure I shared it with all my friends and family.

U.S. has raised number of diabetics and it’s got people obsessed over numbers and safe foods to eat. Dates sound wonderful to add for the nutrients.

I eat my dates with nuts. I stick a walnut, pecan, brazil nut, cashew in between my date and snack away. I believe eating the date with nuts slows the absorption of the glucose thru my system, spiking my glucose. I've observed I absorb more iron/nutrients and my bowels moves like clock work. I'm diabetic so I only eat them 1-2 a day bout 3X's week. This is what works for me eating dates.

💯 agree with this advice having had positive personal experience. My beloved prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon Him) used to break/open his fasts on dates. Thank you so much for sharing such an informative video backed up with an evidence base.

I use to live in Bahrain 🇧🇭 since I was teenager. I work in date farm and was eating lot of dates everyday. I have no problem. Still eating3 date a day. No problem.

I have been eating 4 small size pitted dates every day along with breakfast which includes finger millets, chia seeds and ground flax seeds. I also consume glucophage 500mg since I am diabetic for the last 6 years. My glucose level has been about 6&7 two hours after breakfast. My bowel motion is perfect and regular. My periferal neuropathic symptoms have reduced considerably. I believe that introducing dates in my breakfast has helped to improve my health. I am 79 years old male.

I love dates

I ate 3 pcs.of dates sometime,and my bowel is ok.❤❤❤

People used to make date bars but you don’t see that too much any more.

Even al Quran says dates make easy delivery of women

I cannot have any dates in my home :( Because if they are around, I will CERTAINLY eat all of em!

Summary: Eating two dates daily can greatly benefit your health: improvements in digestion, energy levels, heart health, skin glow, brain function, bone strength, and blood sugar regulation. Key Takeaways Two dates a day can enhance digestive health, aiding in bowel movements and supporting gut bacteria. Dates provide sustained energy levels without sugar spikes, thanks to their fiber content. Consumption of dates can contribute to improved heart health, regulating blood pressure and reducing heart disease risk. Dates promote skin health with their antioxidants and nutrients, potentially preventing premature aging. The nutrients in dates can boost brain function, protect against cognitive decline, and support memory and learning abilities. Dates contain minerals like magnesium and phosphorus, supporting strong bones alongside calcium. Despite their natural sweetness, dates have a low glycemic index, making them safe for controlling blood sugar levels.

I just started taking them,I put 2 in my tea,or in my coffee,I also eat them,I started a plant,will see how that goes

I eat 2 dates daily. Thanks for all this information. I shall continue eating them.

We eat dates (2/day) alongwith walnuts, almonds, pumkin seeds cashews and socked resin(all 5 pcs each) with black coffee without sugar. This is our daily routine for years.Our fasting sugar levels are 120 or 125 for the last several years.

When I placed my dates in the bowl one day, I saw black spots on the bowl, so I soaked the 5 dates with boiling water for few minutes, It made it softer & easier to chew.

I eat dates with Kefir daily for a year now, I love it and has allowed me to skip junk desserts ❤

I love dates, l eat them usually with walnuts and sometimes Brazil nuts

I am diabetic. I love dates but i have observed that eating dates one to two increses the urgency to urinate in no time and sometimes helpless to co trol the urination. Reasons for that. I am seventy plus.

Great presentation, Thanks!❤

I don’t know much about it but I will try hoping that it does not raise my blood sugar I learnt so much from the video I am encouraged to try it

thanks

Most of the nutrition found in a date is located in the seed. In order to digest the seeds nutrients you hade to completely dehydrate the seed (low and slow) and then grind the dehydrated seed into a powder and add the powder to a beverage. It'll require more than 1 date too. I don't know the exact amount though. I used to eat 4 dates per day. Quite a bit of sugar.

Thank you very much

Two dates a day are nothing, In Arab countries, consuming 7 dates is the minimum.

Am a diabetic patients and not sure

What brand of dates is the best? And where can I purchase fresh dates

Dates are high in iron… soak two dates overnight in a cup of water. Smash with a fork and add a little hot water plus 1-2tsp apple cider vinegar (with the mother) for absorption. Iron will go up quickly.

So if I have the beginning of type two diabetes, I can eat dates too

Thanks for the very valuable Info,i eat 3 Dates a day, Blessings,sonia

I think sweets (like dates and fruits) are fine as the occasional treats, but not as a staple; the adverse of effects of increased insulin levels and glucose on a chronic daily basis tends to cause more health issues over the long-haul than it solves; especially in our current massive obesity epidemic (and rising diabetes rates) with the young and old.

Vinegar mixed with my (meat) dishes is great for improving digestion in my experience; and "bloating" in the gut has more to do with feeding the gut biome too much fiber in a meal setting; and while insoluble fiber helps provide a lattice for the gut biome to live upon, and pectin to help "patch" holes in the gut lining, the sugar/glucose input might not be worth the trade-off again the constant daily bump out of nutritional ketosis. Instead, I just take pectin by itself; and certain fibers (inulin/psyllium) by themselves. At my age, I don't/want need the sugar input affects (plus insulin spikes) on my body daily like that. I reversed my Type II diabetes, and don't want it to coming back (what a nightmare it was becoming).

Hello from Malaysia.May I ask. What is the best way to consume dates?

What happens is this: People get attached to the soft SWEET STICKY fruit and and eat more and more of them. NOT a good idea at all. They are the sweetest fruit in the whole world. Great for diabetes.

Dates are less known in countries that can’t grow them, like Nordic countries.

Quran states Mary from the pains of labour sat under a tree And ate dates

Potassium and magnesium is not recommended for ppl with any kidney issues.

I love them for breakfast with my morning tea. Aldi's has a great deal on medjool dates. 1# for about $5.50. I keep a bag in my car and take with me everywhere.

Did it for months now help.at all.

Let me explain what the brain is mostly made of: 60% fat and 20% cholesterol. It doesn't leave a lot of room for anything else once you think about the nerves and blood and water. We really don't need a lot of sugar. A whole teaspoon full in our body at any one time and we can make it ourselves from our fat cells.

Islam encourages a few dates a day

I eat 2 dates a day and my blood sugar did not go up .

Watch potassium level - Over age 50 plus creatinine get higher Nice but serious

Well, two dates a day would break my ketosis resulting in increasing insulin, leading to potential glycation and/or increased fat storage of the other foods eaten during the same period (since the mitochondria will be knocked out of thier de-coupling mode of making heat rather than ATP per Dr Gundry). If a person is young without metabolic issues (rare in our modern times; just look at thier massive obesity epidemic), then two sugary dates or similar will not be an issue for them; but it will tend to keep their bodies out of natural times of healthy metabolic ketosis which it was designed to used/experience from time to time.

Check sugar content, I live in New York city , I go to middle east stores I bought case of date imported from Algeria, sugar content was 25 grams, Saudi Arabia dates sugar content 60 grams of sugar... I eat 3 pieces of dates with each meal, I'm diabetic with high cholesterol.... I take medication, After each meal I brush my teeth, the I have machine I filled it with water, to clean my teeth..my dentist sold it to me..
