---The role of jujube:

It has been used as a traditional Chinese medicine for 2000 years With many years of history, it is mainly used to treat symptoms such as insufficient qi, weak spleen and stomach, physical fatigue, lack of food and loose stools, blood deficiency and chlorosis, and women's impatience.

Pharmacological research in recent years has found that jujube contains a variety of biologically active substances, such as jujube polysaccharides, flavonoids, saponins, triterpenes, alkaloids, cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), Cyclic Guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), etc., has various health-care and therapeutic effects on the human body.

■Anti-tumor

The cAMP in jujube participates in various physiological and biochemical processes such as cell division and differentiation, morphogenesis, glycogen and lipolysis, steroidogenesis, etc., and Can act on gene transcription and affect protein synthesis. More importantly, cAMP has significant efficacy in treating various tumors. It can effectively prevent the formation of nitrite substances in the human body, thereby inhibiting the formation and proliferation of cancer cells, and can even transform cancer cells into normal cells. In addition, The triterpenoids rich in jujube have the effect of inhibiting cancer cells, especially maslinic acid, which is the most effective, even surpassing the commonly used anti-cancer drug fluorouracil.

■Antioxidation

The rich vitamin C in jujube has strong antioxidant activity and promotes collagen synthesis. It can participate in the redox reaction of tissue cells and interact with the body. It is related to the metabolism of multiple substances. Sufficient vitamin C can promote growth and development, enhance physical strength, and reduce fatigue.

■Lower blood pressure and cholesterol

The vitamin P content in jujube is the highest among all fruits and vegetables. It has the ability to maintain capillary permeability, improve microcirculation and prevent arteriosclerosis. It can also promote the accumulation of vitamin C in the human body. In addition, the soap substances contained in jujube have the functions of regulating human metabolism, enhancing immunity, anti-inflammation, anti-allergy, and lowering blood sugar and cholesterol levels; the rutin contained in jujube can protect the smoothness of capillaries and prevent the fragility of blood vessel walls. It increases the function of

and is effective in treating hypertension, atherosclerosis and other diseases; the flavonoids contained in it can be used for the treatment and prevention of hypertension and arteriosclerosis.

■Protect and protect the liver

The fructose, glucose, oligosaccharides, and acidic polysaccharides in jujube are involved in protecting the liver. Jujube can significantly increase serum total protein and albumin in rabbits with carbon tetrachloride-induced liver injury. At the same time, jujube can improve the phagocytic function of monocytes in the body, protect the liver, and enhance physical strength; the vitamin C and cAMP in jujube can reduce the damage to the liver caused by chemical drugs, promote protein synthesis, and increase serum total The role of protein content.

Clinically, jujube can be used as an auxiliary treatment for chronic hepatitis and early cirrhosis.

■Improving immunity

Jujube polysaccharide is an important active substance in jujube. It has obvious complement activity and promotes lymphocyte proliferation, and can improve the body's immunity.

■Prevent and treat insufficient blood supply to the brain

The flavonoids in jujube can prevent and treat cerebral ischemia and have a protective effect on the ultrastructural damage of brain tissue caused by cerebral ischemia.

■Anti-allergic

Eating jujube can treat allergic purpura. This is mainly because after the human body consumes a sufficient amount of cAMP, the content of cAMP in immune cells also increases, which inhibits the immune response and achieves anti-allergic effects; the ethyl-D-glucofuranoside derivatives in jujube have 5-Hydroxytryptamine and histamine have antagonistic effects and thus can fight allergies.

■Prevent and treat cardiovascular disease

Jujube is rich in vitamin C and vitamin P, which are very beneficial to improving capillaries, maintaining the elasticity of blood vessel walls, and fighting atherosclerosis; Jujube contains cAMP, whose pharmacological effects include improving human microcirculation, dilating coronary arteries, increasing blood supply to the brain and heart, slowing down the heart rhythm, reducing myocardial oxygen consumption and improving the metabolism of ischemic myocardium, so it can prevent and treat heart disease and brain disease. Vascular disease.

■Prevention and treatment of osteoporosis and anemia

Middle-aged and elderly people often have osteoporosis, and adolescents and women who are at the peak of growth and development are prone to anemia. Jujube is rich in calcium and iron, which have very ideal therapeutic effects on them, and their effects are usually unmatched by drugs.
