Summary: | This systematic review study aimed to investigate the impact of date fruit products on female health at different stages of their lives. The quality of the included studies was evaluated using the risk of bias(RoB) assessment tool. After reviewing 21 eligible studies concluded that, date fruits have a beneficial impact on puberty, reproduction, and menopause periods. During puberty, the consumption of date fruits improved hemoglobin levels in adolescent girls. In reproductive age, date fruits have positive effects on fertility parameters and the sexual function of women and men. Furthermore, in the menopausal period, date fruits improve dyspareunia and help to maintain better ovarian reserves. Supporting women with proper nutrition and enhancing their diet can lead to cost savings compared to medical interventions, and is considered a key preventive measure for improving women's health. By offering simple advice, women can enhance their quality of life and better cope with life's challenges. |
