News India Live, Digital Desk: As soon as winter arrives, the first thing that comes to mind along with quilts are dates. These are not only very tasty to eat, but also help in keeping our body warm from inside in winters. When we go to the market or mall, we see so many varieties of dates there that our mind wanders. Some are black, some brown, some very thick and some dry. The biggest question is which one is the best? And if you are thinking of losing weight, then which date should you choose? Let us understand this world of dates in simple language. 1. ‘Medjool’ – You must have heard the name of the king of dates. These are quite large in size, pulpy and very soft to eat. Their taste is exactly like caramel. Who is it for: If you need instant energy or you do gym, then Majdool is the best. But keep in mind, it contains high sugar and calories. If you are losing weight, eat it in limit.2. ‘Ajwa’ (Ajwa) – A boon of health. Ajwa dates are slightly small in appearance and dark black in colour. This date of Medina is famous for its ‘healing power’. People search for and buy it to cure heart diseases and anemia. The sweetness in it is slightly balanced.3. ‘Barhi’ and ‘Zahidi’ (Barhi & Zahidi) are slightly golden or yellow in color and have very good fiber content. These are a little less sticky to eat. So which one is best for weight loss? To be honest, dates contain natural sugar. But if you want to lose weight, you should choose dates that are less sweet and high in fiber. Instead of very sweet dates like ‘Majdool’, you can opt for Zahidi or Ajwa. But this does not mean that you should give up dates. Dates are rich in fiber. Benefit: After eating it, you do not feel hungry for a long time, which prevents you from eating unnecessary snacks. Just keep your ‘control’ key with you. How much to eat daily? If you want to stay fit, 2 to 3 dates a day are enough. Use it in place of sugar – like in smoothies or kheer. Give up sugar and adopt dates, this is the key to staying fit! This winter, choose the right dates and enjoy health with sweetness.
