– See no evil
Dates are loaded with vitamin A, which will help defend your corneas from all kinds of harm. They are also rich in lutein and zeaxanthin, two little-known nutrients which allow your eyes to filter harmful exposure to light and prevent macular degeneration, which causes a loss of sight.
– Add a spring to your step
Try combining dates with almonds or cashews for a delicious, high-energy snack. This is because the natural sugar in dates will give you a good energy boost. Not only that, but the vitamins and potassium within help promote brain activity and reactivity in the nervous system, which can keep your body from getting slow with age.
