The high amounts of antioxidants and phenolic acids in dates can help reduce arterial clogging and the problems that come with it.

See No Evil
Dates are rich in vitamin A, which will help protect your corneas from all sorts of damage. They are also rich in lutein and zeaxanthin, two little-known nutrients that help your eyes filter out harmful light exposure and prevent macular degeneration, which causes vision loss.
Add a Spring to Your Step
Try combining dates with almonds or cashews for a delicious and energetic snack. This is due to the natural sugar in dates that will give you a nice energy boost. Not only that, but the vitamins and potassium they contain help promote brain activity and nervous system responsiveness, which can prevent your body from slowing down as you age.
May Promote Brain Health
Recent studies have found that dates may have health-promoting properties that can help slow the development of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s. Dates do this by reducing inflammatory markers, such as interleukin-6 in the brain.
