Dates are a rich source of protective plant compounds which have antioxidant properties. These include polyphenols, carotenoids and lignans, which have been shown to help manage the risk of chronic disease. Research into fibre continues to support its important role in health, from helping to maintain a healthy gut microbiome to reducing the risk of certain long-term health conditions.
A small 2015 study found that date consumption may reduce colon cancer thanks to its high fibre and polyphenol content, the latter also having useful anti-microbial benefits. Dates are a source of bone-friendly minerals including calcium, potassium, phosphorus, and magnesium. They are also a source of vitamin K which is needed for healthy, strong bones.
Including dates in the diet when in the final few weeks of pregnancy may promote cervical dilation and reduce the need for an induced birth. They are also thought to be helpful in reducing the length of labour. Compounds in the fruit are believed to mimic the effects of oxytocin, a hormone involved in labour contractions.
Some people may be allergic to dates and, in addition to this, compounds called sulphites may, for some sensitive individuals, cause allergic symptoms. A mild reaction (10).. include symptoms such as an itching mouth or tongue, sneezing or a runny nose. If you experience these symptoms after eating dates, speak to your GP. If a more serious anaphylactic reaction occurs, call for an ambulance immediately.

Social norms are the implicit social rules that govern behaviour within a community. Norms are not directly established but develop over time as people daily behaviours, their reactions, and observe of what others are doing. Social norms differ depending on the group of people, community, and culture. What is considered as fully normal, even admirable, in one group may be met with disapproval in another. Robert Cialdini, psychologist, said people are constantly looking for 'social proof' to guide their own behaviour. Social proof of what is acceptable is a particularly powerful guide to behaviour when the situation is ambiguous or new.
In relation to social norms, one of the big challenges we face is creating a sustainable culture where so many unsustainable actions are considered perfectly normal and even something to strive for: eating meet at every meal, driving alone or everyday shopping for new item. Sustainable behaviour such as buying second-hand thing or taking short shower seen as undesirable in status.
Social norms create opportunities for change since they are dynamic and constantly shifting. The aim for those of us who want to bring about a more sustainable society to quickly bring sustainable behaviour into the realm of normal, acceptable, and something people aspire to. So, how can we accomplish this? We need to give people evidence, social proof, that sustainable behaviour is acceptable and desirable.

There are some strategies to prevent dehydration. It's not just water that can keep you hydrated. All beverages containing water contribute toward your daily needs. And it's a myth that caffeinated beverages or those containing alcohol are dehydrating because they make you urinate. They do, but over the course of the day, the water from these beverages still leads to a net positive contribution to total fluid consumption.
Of course, there are many reasons why water is still the better choice. Sugary drinks can lead to weight gain and inflammation, which can increase your risk for developing diseases such as diabetes. Too much caffeine can give you the jitters or keep you from sleeping. And, alcohol intake should be limited to one drink per day for women, and 1-2 drinks per day for men.
To ward off dehydration, drink fluids gradually, throughout the day. An easy way to do this is to have a drink at each meal, as well as socially, or with medicine. And know that you also get fluids from water-rich foods, such as salads, fruit, and applesauce.
16. What is the topic of the passage?
