Dates – Health Properties and Phenol Content
Dactyls are rich in plant phenols. In their fresh form, they have the ability to lower blood cholesterol levels, which prevents atherosclerosis in the blood vessels. In addition, these fruits contain salicylates, which are natural analgesics. Unlike pharmaceuticals, they do not cause inflammation in the digestive system. The potassium contained in dactyles has anti-inflammatory properties. They also regulate blood pressure. Besides, consuming these fruits relieves the symptoms of menopause.
