    How eating three dates every day can benefit your mind and body?

    Healthy for the body and mind dates are considered to be a healthy indulgence. Dates are the delicious snack for any time of day. If you develop the habit of eating three of these soft and yummy fruit every day for one week, you may benefit your mind and body.

    Long-Lasting energy

    Dates contain the
    natural sugars, glucose, fructose and sucrose that will help you boost your
    energy quickly whenever you need it. Dates contain other healthy components
    like fiber, potassium, magnesium, vitamins, and antioxidants that will maintain
    energy levels. So instead of having harmful energy drinks, you can have dates
    to increase your energy.

    Reduced risk of colon
    cancer

    Along with ensuring that food moves through the digestive system at a healthy rate, dates also make sure the gut itself is healthy and free from harmful bacteria. When the digestive system and gut are working well then so is the colon, resulting in a reduced risk of colon cancer.

    A study conducted by
    the Department of Food and Nutritional Sciences found that those who consumed
    dates had enhanced colon health because dates increased the growth of good
    bacteria, preventing the growth of colon cancer cells.

    Improved digestive
    health

    Dates improve your digestive system because of the fiber. In just a one-cup serving, you will get 12 grams of fiber. That’s 48 percent of your recommended daily intake. Fiber can benefit your digestive health by averting constipation.

    A study published in the British Journal of Nutrition found that people who consumed seven dates per day for 21 days showed improvements in stool frequency compared to when they did not eat dates.

    Help you cope with
    stress

    Dates contain Vitamin B6 that can improve the performance of the brain by helping the body make serotonin and norepinephrine. Serotonin (a compound present in blood platelets) regulates mood and norepinephrine (an organic chemical that functions in the brain) helps your body deal with stress.

    Research has shown that low levels of Vitamin B6 are linked to depression. When your brain is clear from stress, and in a good mood, then it is sharp and ready to learn.

  • How to keep your closet organised

    How to keep your closet organised

    We’ve all been through the never-ending process of trying to keep our cupboards organised. One minute it’s organised, and the next it’s an absolute disaster.

    Here are a few tips to help you keep your cupboard in good shape.

    Stack thick items like jeans and sweaters

    Winters are coming and sweaters tend to occupy a lot of space. The best solution is to stack up the bulky winter wear. These items are thick, so they won’t crinkle or lose their shape when you stack them. Also, you’ll be able to see each item in a stack clearly, making it that much easier to find what you’re looking for.

    Roll T-shirts and pajamas

    Things like cotton shirts, pajamas and even work out clothes can be organized by roll and tuck technique. And put them in your drawer or any storage box. This technique is a major space saver if you do it right. Tuck your rolled clothing into shoe boxes (great for sliding into drawers), or use wire baskets or clear bins (perfect for shelves).

    Hang scarves on hangers

    Sure, you can roll them up or stack them if they’re thick, but tying your scarves on a hanger is a way better option for organizing them. Hanging your scarves keeps them wrinkle-free and easy to see and access.

    Utilize your wall for hanging jewellery and accessories

    Hang accessories like belts, jewelry, hats or
    ties on a wall. You can use nails or towel hooks or opt for a more personalized
    approach like a stylish coat rack.

    Store your most-used clothes at eye level

    Keep everything you wear regularly in the
    middle of your closet at eye level so it’s easy to find. Put lesser-used pieces
    directly above or below your most popular clothes, and relegate your least-worn
    items to the top shelf.
