Dates consist of approximately 70% natural sugars, mainly fructose and glucose in equal proportion, which makes them a rich source of energy. The remaining 30% is occupied by proteins, vegetable fibers and various micronutrients such as potassium, calcium, magnesium and phosphorus.
100g of dates yield approximately 280 calories, while they can cover at least 15% of our daily needs in the above minerals. Also, dates contain small amounts of vitamins of the B complex, while they are a rich source of plant fibers, mainly insoluble.

Dates are the fruit of the Phoenix dactylifera L. palm, or date palm, a tree found in tropical and subtropical climates, particularly in
Southwest Asia and North Africa. Dates are a fruit that has been consumed since ancient times, especially in the regions of Mesopotamia where they were a key component of the diet of the peoples who lived there. Today, the production of dates is constantly increasing, with countries such as Egypt, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Iraq and other countries in this region being the first date producers in the world.
Cocoa plays an important role in the production of serotonin in our brain. Serotonin is an anti-anxiety neurotransmitter that reduces anxiety and increases our ability to cope with stress. Serotonin is also thought to help improve male premature ejaculation (PE). MAO inhibitors help neurotransmitters circulate in the brain for longer by blocking the activity of enzymes that normally break them down.
PEA (phenylethylamine) is a chemical component that is related to adrenaline. It is known as the "love ingredient" because it is released when a man and a woman are in love. PEA plays a role in increasing concentration, alertness and having a positive effect on life, which makes Cocoa the answer to Prozac. Additionally, anandamide is known as the euphoria chemical because it is released when we feel good.
Dopamine is a mood regulator that helps curb food intake and compulsive behaviors while simultaneously increasing mental focus and positive coping. Cacao beans have the highest antioxidant concentration of any food. Research has also shown that the antioxidants in cocoa are extremely stable and readily available in the human body. Additionally, patients found that the antioxidants in cocoa can reach cells within 30 minutes.
Research has shown that raw cacao is two times more antioxidant than red wine and three times more than green tea.
With significant benefits for the body, pure cocoa contributes to the detoxification of the body from heavy metals, enhancing a positive mood.
