It’s easy to assume dates are “too sweet” to be good. But what most don’t realise is that dates are rich in soluble fibre, a component that helps reduce fat accumulation in the liver by slowing down digestion and sugar absorption. Paired with walnuts, the combination turns powerful.
Walnuts are one of the few plant-based sources of omega-3 fatty acids, which studies have linked to reduced liver inflammation and improved enzyme levels. A study even suggested that walnut intake is inversely associated with NAFLD (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease).
Together, dates and walnuts offer both sweetness and satiety, a snack that’s not only liver-friendly but also emotionally comforting. Just two dates with a small handful of walnuts, twice a week, can become a gentle act of self-care.
