In Europe and America, black dates have become a popular aid for constipation, offering not just digestive relief but also various nutritional benefits with certain anti-cancer effects. A study published in 2022 in 'Food Funct' revealed that consuming dried black dates daily for a year can enhance the gut microbiota of menopausal women, particularly by increasing the abundance of beneficial bacteria such as Lachnospira. Additionally, research from 2020 in 'Adv Nutr' showed that incorporating dried fruits such as black dates into one's diet can reduce the risk of certain digestive cancers significantly. Furthermore, black dates contain soluble and insoluble fiber, polyphenols, oligosaccharides, and sorbitol, which not only aid in maintaining regular bowel movements but also promote gut health by providing prebiotics for beneficial gut bacteria.
