Dates are cooling in nature and a great choice of a sweetener for Summer.
They are a great way to rebalance electrolytes as they contain a high amount of dietary potassium and also support muscle function.
Ayurveda* believes that eating Dates after meals will make a person gain weight and it's suggested that we eat dates before meals unless we want to increase weight.
Dates are also a great food to increase Ojas ie the Immunity.
*Ayurveda is one of the oldest systems of traditional natural healing in the world. Also known as the sister of Yoga, it stresses deeply on nutrition and lifestyle for optimal health. Ayurveda believes that there are three bio energies ie Vata ( Air and Ether Elements), Pitta ( Fire and Water ) and Kapha ( Earth and Water) within the body and their balance or imbalance determines the state of good or ill health .
