Welcome to The Health Benefits of Medjool Dates
Mu Mu Muesli’s Healthy Eating Blog Archives

High Fiber Foods List

Ah, medjool dates. Medjool dates are some of the most common types of dates, and it’s no wonder. Their health benefits range from promoting a smoother pregnancy/labor to fighting diabetes. They’re also a great holistic remedy for constipation.

In order to see more in-depth health benefits of medjool dates, see The 9 Life Changing Benefits of Eating Dates.” 

Where do these jewels of sweet, chewy goodness get their power? The first place to start looking for an answer is in their nutritional profile, of course. Consider the following nutrition facts for 100 grams of medjool dates:

  • A breakdown of 98% carbohydrates (mostly natural fruit sugars), 0% fat, and 2% protein.
  • 277 calories
  • 12% of the recommended daily intake (RDI) of Vitamin B6
  • 5% of the RDI of iron
  • 18% of the RID of copper
  • 15% of the RDI of manganese
  • 20% of the RDI of potassium
  • 14% of the RDI of magnesium

Many of the health benefits of medjool dates also come from their power-packed concentration of polyphenols, a type of antioxidant. According to Harvard Health Publishing, these polyphenols fight inflammation, which has far-reaching benefits for your body and mind.

A healthy diet [including fruits like organic dates] is beneficial not only for reducing the risk of chronic diseases, but also for improving mood and overall quality of life.

Dr. Hu, Department of Nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health

Soluble fiber is another healthy component of Medjool dates, as it eases unpleasant GI issues, like constipation.

In the next two brief sections, we’ll focus mainly on two main medicinal properties of Medjool dates: their ability to fight diabetes, as well as their uncanny aptitude for easing labor pains.

Medjool Dates and Diabetes

Medjool dates are helpful for diabetes for a few reasons. First, consuming foods rich in polyphenols on a daily basis helps prevent diabetes.

Although they’re high in natural fruit sugars, medjool dates don’t have a high glycemic index. In fact, studies have even shown that consuming dates regularly doesn’t cause an unhealthy spike in blood sugar.

Furthermore, the trace amounts of Vitamin K in Medjool dates helps prevent blood clots. Since this is something that afflicts many people with diabetes, evidence shows us that Medjool dates may actually be helpful in treating diabetes!

Medjool Dates & Pregnancy

If you want an easier pregnancy and labor, then you’ve got to start eating dates!

Here’s a quick overview of how Medjool dates may benefit a woman’s pregnancy and labor:

  • The high concentration of magnesium helps alleviate painful cramping and is also linked with healthier birth weights.
  • Furthermore, eating dates may be beneficial in late pregnancy by nudging along uterine contractions. In other words, they may help prevent the need for a medically-induced pregnancy.
  • Eating dates may also reduce the amount of hemorrhaging after giving birth.
