Dates are full of natural simple sugars like glucose, fructose, and sucrose, which makes them a perfect snack for a fast and effective energy burst as these simple sugars are easily and quickly converted into glucose, which your cells use as energy.
Eat a few dates both before and after exercise, especially if you are doing high cardiovascular exercises, as they will help fortify and replenish your energy levels.
The fiber in dates also allows you to remain energized without the typical crash you get after eating most commercial “energy bars,” that are nothing more than carbs and sugar (14).
