Benefits on Dates and Oats

  • Dates contain vitamins A and K. Vitamin A protects the eyes, maintains healthy skin and mucus membranes, and even protects the lungs and mouth from developing cancer……..
  • Old fashion oats, this whole-grain powerhouse has been packing serious nutrition and hearty flavor into breakfast for generations.  I remember in the Congo for breakfast we had Porridge for breakfast made from oats and my mom will add chopped mango, and or papaya.  So, good.
