First of all, I want to thanks to Madam Busyra because give me a chance to speech in front today. Before I start the speech, I want to ask all of you about dates. Have you ever heard and eaten dates? I think all of you have eaten dates especially in Ramadhan,right? The scientific name of dates is Phoenix Dactylifera. A date fruit is the product of a date palm, which is a tree native to Northern Africa and the Middle East, although it is also cultivated in other parts of the world.

 A full grown date palm can reach 82 feet (25 meters) in height, with a spreading crown of greenish leaves. The fresh dates will last for up to two weeks under refrigeration, while preserved dates can last much longer, depending on how they are preserved. Today I want to persuade all of you to eat dates because it helps you cure diseases, increase weight gain, and supply energy. I hope all of you can lend your ears and give more attention to my speech.

Now, lets start with the first reason why you should eat dates

fighting constipation, diarrhea, and abdominal cancer. Dates are termed as a laxative food, so it is beneficial for you that suffering

dates for one full night in water. You should consume these soaked dates in the morning like syrup to get their actual advantages.

 Dates helps in curing abdominal cancer because they work better as medicines, natural, and do not bear any side of effects in your body. All of you should take it. It is very suitable for you and other people because dates work as useful tonic for all age of groups. Dates are rich in several vitamins and minerals which contain potassium, calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus that can use to cure many diseases.

Dates that rich with sugary energy will supply your body with the most important nutrients which is sugar. So sugar is irreplaceable as a nutrient for the brain cells and nerves. Normally, it is observed that you may feel hungry if sugar level are reduced in

your body irrespective the condition of empty stomach.
