Health Benefits of Dates
5. Iron
Our bodies need iron. This is because oxygen is attracted to iron, and iron in our blood means that the oxygen is able to attach to our red blood cells. This then allows our cells to transport the oxygen around the body to where it is needed. We get the iron that we need from our food and, thankfully, there is a lot of food that contains iron. One type of food that is a source of iron is dates.
This means that including dates in your diet helps prevent conditions like anemia. If you are showing symptoms of anemia then you should speak with your doctor to find out why.
