1. Water & Dates
It has been proved by the nutritionists that effective fasting is based on water and simple sugars of natural sources like the ones available in dates which are considered the best natural sugars.
Studies had given proof that the person who ultimately nourishes himself on dates and water for 20 to 30 days will make his body getting rid of the most of the accumulating toxins and the body will restore his vitality much better than before. The Prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him) confirmed this rule and stated that whoever wants to break his fast do start with dates as it is blessed, if he doesn't have any, have water as it is purification.
2. Dates for Dieting
The variable and large content of nutrients in dates make it a suitable food to resist hunger.
knowing that the main causative factor of obesity is the continuous sensation of hunger and the large appetite which results in consumption of large amounts of fats and sugars in food, will lead us to the conclusion that the remedy is by eating pieces of dates when feeling hungry as it increases the feeling of satiety , provides the body with needed sugars, regulates the intestinal movement and most importantly it will lower the consumption of food.
Using the date as a remedy for obesity, as confirmed by the scientists, is not new in Islam as the prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him) 1400 years ago, informed that when the date is present at home, the people of the home will never experience hunger.
In summary, we can say that eating pieces of dates daily will result in eliminating extra weight by reducing hunger sensation.
3. Dates and Delivery
Scientists says that the womb, which is a relatively large muscle, is in urgent need for natural sugar as a fuel during labor and delivery.
Date is a laxative food, so it is necessary for the pregnant woman to eat dates before delivery in order to help colon and intestine in the elimination process and to activate the womb muscle and regulate its movement which aids in easing delivery.
This is considered one of the miracles which Allah has stated in Quran in his speech to Maryam: " And shake the trunk of the palm-tree toward thee, thou wilt cause ripe dates to fall upon thee. (25: Maryam"
