Eating dates every day could cut the risk of heart attacks and strokes dramatically.

Though in Britain we tend to eat dates only at Christmas, research suggests eating them regularly could produce significant health benefits. This was the finding from a small study in Israel. A group of ten healthy adults were given a couple of handfuls of dates a day for a month.

At the end of the study, blood tests showed the volunteers had a 15 per cent drop in fats called triglycerides, implicated in heart disease and strokes.

The scientists also found that dates reduced oxidation. This is a damaging process that increases the amount of cholesterol absorbed by the artery walls
