OCULAR BENEFITS OF EATING DATES YOU DON’T KNOW ABOUT.

Dates are known to be sweet and delicious. Many people are now switching from normal sugar to date syrup as an alternative to sweetener and I must admit, it is a novel idea.

Not only will your body thank you but also your eyes.

Dates are known to reduce the risk of cataracts and macular degeneration? I didn’t either. I just found out.

And it makes sense because this fruit is packed full of vitamins such as A and K, minerals, iron, calcium, magnesium, riboflavin, thiamin, zinc, and folate. These properties are great for maintaining a good vision. They are also extremely effective in protecting against night blindness.

How about you, did you know that Dates are good for the eyes
