DATES – AN IDEAL FOOD TO BREAK YOUR FAST

After a fast, the body can be depleted of nutrients and minerals, and become dehydrated, which is why dates which are highly nutritious, make a great post-fasting snack.

Dates are easily digested and are a quick source of energy and nutrients. They also prevent upset stomach if eaten after fasting. Dates are a superfruit – they are high in fibre and disease-fighting antioxidants, are a natural sweetener, and can improve brain function.
