Why do dates prevent cancer?

First, dates have a low glycemic index, making them very blood sugar friendly.

Second, dates increase the two most beneficial gut bacteria, bifidobacterium and lactobacilli.

In particular, dates improve bloating thanks to their low FODMAP content, which can reduce constipation and contribute to a reduced risk of colon cancer.

People who eat more dates may have a lower risk of colon cancer thanks to their polyphenol content and beneficial bacteria that produce the compound butyrate - which has a protective effect against colon cancer, Dr. Salhab emphasized.

Studies have found that dates may reduce the risk of colon cancer, explains Dr. Salhab. The National Institutes of Health cites research showing that dates have this effect.

In addition to digestive benefits, dates may also help reduce the risk of fatty liver.

Thanks to their polyphenol and antioxidant content, eating more dates may help reduce the risk of fatty liver, notes Dr. Salhab.

Although dried fruit is higher in calories than fresh fruit, dates are packed with essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber.

Health experts have long praised the potential of dates to regulate blood sugar, reduce inflammation and reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, Alzheimer's disease and diabetes.

Dates contain powerful antioxidants, including flavonoids, carotenoids, and phenolic acids, all of which contribute to reducing inflammation, promoting overall health, according to Healthline .
