6. Boost Male Fertility
Surprisingly, studies also find that date palm pollen (DPP) may cure male infertility by improving the quality of sperm parameters (13).
A 2015 study announced in the Pakistan Journal of Biological Sciences (PJBS) looked at 40 infertile men who ate 120 mg DPP every other day, for two months.
They concluded that consumption of DPP enhanced their sperm count and in fact, “The treatment significantly increased sperm motility, morphology and forward progressive motility.”
Dates have high levels of estradiol and flavonoids believed to help boost sperm count and motility, and even increase testes size and weight. A common home remedy calls for soaking a handful of dates in fresh goat’s milk overnight, then grinding them in the milk with a mixture of cardamom powder and honey.
7. Promote Energy
Dates are full of natural simple sugars like glucose, fructose, and sucrose, which makes them a perfect snack for a fast and effective energy burst as these simple sugars are easily and quickly transformed into glucose, which your cells use as energy.
Eat a few dates both before and after exercise, especially if you are doing high cardiovascular exercises, as they will help fortify and replenish your energy levels.
