Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Date

  • Metabolic Effect: Date regulates digestion and provides a feeling of fullness due to its high fiber content. The natural sugars it contains provide energy and meet the need for sweets in a healthy way.
  • Consumption Recommendation: You can consume dates alone as a snack, or you can balance your blood sugar by consuming them with protein sources such as milk or yogurt.
  • Things to Consider: Since dates have a high calorie and sugar content, it is important to pay attention to portion control. 2-3 dates are equivalent to one serving of fruit.
  • Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories from 2 dates, you need to walk for about 14 minutes. This is an exercise you can easily incorporate into your daily activity.
