Furthermore, dates are an excellent remedy for a weak heart and can help you lose weight. Eating a few dates when feeling hungry helps reduce hunger and be filled. These dates will provide the body with the necessary sugar and stimulate the intestine which reduce hunger greatly, and eventually, reduce food consumption.

Muslims have been eating dates abundantly during the month of Ramadan since the beginning of time. The sweetness of the date takes the edge off hunger and this is the reason why fasts are opened with dates. It prevents a person from overeating after he has opened his fast.

Did you also know that dates can ease labor pain during childbirth?

Scientifically they are known to contain hormones which strengthen the uterus, help produce milk for nursing mothers and also prevent blood loss after childbirth. (The ripe fruit contains a substance that urges uterine spasms and increases contractions especially in the time of delivery. This substance resembles 'oxytocin' that is secreted by pituitary gland, which encourages contractions of the uterus. Dates contain some stimulants which strengthen the muscles of the uterus in the last months of pregnancy. This helps the dilation of the uterus at the time of delivery and reduces post-natal bleeding.
