ll evidence points to the fact that to improve health, you must avoid sugary foods. Studies show that eating refined sugar causes energy depletion, also known as the dreaded “sugar crash” when empty calories use our body’s vitamins and minerals to turn it into fuel. Think of it like a credit card for your body. Instead of using your resources for building health, refined sugar uses your resources and creates a deficit! The good news is that nature provides us with incredible nutrition in very sweet packages. One of my favourites is dates as they are an easy portable snack that pairs fabulously with nuts. Dates provide the nutrients you need, while satisfying your sweet tooth. Here are five reasons to eat more dates: 1. Dates are a source of antioxidants. All dates, fresh or dried, contain different types of antioxidants. Fresh dates contain anthocyanidins and carotenoids, while dried dates contain polyphenols – just like green tea. Experiments in food chemistry show that Khalas (aka Madina) dates are highest in antioxidants when compared to other date varieties. 2. Dates can be good for blood sugar balance. Diabetes researchers have shown that dates have a low glycemic impact. This means that eating dates alone, or with a meal, may help people with type-2 diabetes

manage their blood sugar and blood fat levels. Six to eight Tamer dates can be eaten in one sitting without dramatic shifts in blood sugar. 3. Dates can help reduce blood pressure. A standard serving of five or six dates provides about 80 milligrams of magnesium, an essential mineral that helps dilate blood vessels. Research shows that supplementing with 370 milligrams of magnesium can reduce blood pressure. However, taking such a large dose all at once often causes diarrhea. Dates are a delicious way to increase your magnesium intake more gently. 4. Dates contain a brain booster. Each little date contains over two milligrams of choline, a B vitamin that’s a component in acetylcholine, the memory neurotransmitter. Higher choline intake is associated with better memory and learning, making it a key nutrient for children and older adults at risk for Alzheimer’s. 5. Dates help maintain bone mass. Research shows that bone loss in post-menopausal women with osteopenia can be reduced by increasing intake of potassium. One dried date provides nearly 140 milligrams of this valuable nutrient. Scientists believe that high potassium intake protects bone mass by reducing the amount of calcium excreted through the kidneys.

will Smith Sings ‘prince ali’ in New Doris Day, "Que Será, Será" singer and star Short film based on india's 9-year‘aladdin’ clip That has Fans buzzing of Hollywood's Golden Age, has died at 97 old skateboarding champion Kamali Moorthy shortlisted for oscars 2020 “Prince Ali” is one of the most iconic musical numbers from Doris Day, the Academy Award-winning singer of "Que Será,

the original 1992 Disney classic Aladdin. Will Smith, 50, taking over the role of the Genie from the late Robin Williams, sings the song in this all-new video from the live-action remake. The Genie makes a grand entrance for his performance in front of Princess Jasmine and The Sultan. The Genie sings as he introduces Prince Ali, who is actually just Aladdin. The performance is quite the spectacle. The costumes are so vibrant and the Genie definitely takes center stage. Once the video of the new version of “Prince Ali” was released, fans started sounding off on Twitter. “Ok finally decided to watch the Prince Ali clip. Honestly, I knew that it wasn’t going to be as over the top as the original was. I can see why they were going for a more grounded version and frankly it’s not as bad as most people are making it out to be,” one fan wrote. However, some fans weren’t so on board with the new rendition. “They released the live action Prince Ali from Aladdin. I had low expectations but I didn’t expect to get all teary eyed and spend it missing Robin Williams so much.

Será" and a Golden Age of Hollywood movie icon, died on Monday at 97 from complications of pneumonia, according to her foundation. Day had an enormously popular entertainment career, and is one of the top ranked female box-office stars of all time. She also hosted the CBS sitcom "The Doris Day Show" from 1968-1973. Day was an accomplished singer, winning a Grammy lifetime Achievement Award and a legend Award from the Society of Singers. She recorded dozens of albums and saw numerous singles reach Top-10 status, most notably her breakout 1947 hit "Sentimental Journey." Her gift for song translated onto the big screen, as she performed Academy Award-winning songs "Secret love" in 1953 and "Que Será, Será" in 1956. During her acting career, Day worked with some of the biggest stars and most well-known directors of the mid-century period, commonly known as the Golden Age of Hollywood.
