I use mostly dates to sweeten our raw vegan desserts and smoothies. Dates are great for improved energy and brain function. There are many different types of dates these are Zahidi dates, sweet sugary flavored semi-dry dates. They are packed with vitamin A & B-complex and rich in minerals such as iron, calcium, manganese, copper, and potassium. Dates aid in building bone and muscle strength, they contain anti-inflammatory and anti-infective properties helping with chronic infections and auto-immune disorders. Controlling the heart rate and blood pressure and therefore protection against strokes and coronary heart diseases. Their easy digestible fiber, help prevent colon, prostate, lung, endometrial, breast, and pancreatic cancers.
They are also known to help lower LDL (bad) cholesterol, relieve constipation, improve anemia, and prevent macular degeneration. Many people are worried about the sugar in fruit, there are 3 simple natural sugars, fructose, glucose and galactose. Sugar is carbon and carbon is life, the essential energetic force of this planet is oxygen and carbon, the main forms we use to create energy. Sugar is the base side of chemistry where the amino acids are the nitrogen side of chemistry, which are acidic in their structure. If you canโt digest fruit, itโs about adrenal problems or pancreatic enzyme problems and your sugar metabolism being off, itโs not the fruit. If you have candida you need to deworm, clean your lymph systems, get your circulation going and heal your adrenal glands.
