Five taboos for eating jujube, which many people like in our life, not only tastes good but also has high nutritional value. Eating jujube is also helpful for invigorating qi and enriching blood, which is very popular among people. Here are five taboos for eating jujube.

Five Taboos of Eating Jujube 1 1, Avoid eating more.

Jujube is rich in edible sugar and cellulose, and has a strong sense of satiety. If you eat too much, it will easily stimulate the stomach and lead to abdominal distension and indigestion, and at the same time, it is prone to symptoms such as oral ulcer, swollen gums, dry mouth, short urine and constipation.

2, diabetic patients avoid eating.

Jujube is high in sugar, with a sugar content of about 72-80%. For diabetic patients, it is especially important to control the intake of sugar in their daily diet so as not to affect their illness and aggravate their discomfort. Therefore, diabetic patients should avoid eating dates.

3. Avoid eating if you cough too much.

People with symptoms of cough and phlegm should avoid eating some foods that are greasy and produce phlegm, and jujube is sweet and greasy, which just belongs to this kind of food. Therefore, in order to recover from cough and phlegm as soon as possible, it is recommended not to eat jujube.

4. People who get angry

People who have already suffered from excessive internal heat or are prone to excessive internal heat should not eat more dates, because they are high in sugar, and eating more dates will aggravate the symptoms of excessive internal heat. It is best to eat foods with more water, such as pears, kiwis, watermelons and pitaya.

5. Avoid eating when it goes bad

No matter whether it is dried jujube or fresh jujube, once the jujube meat is found to be erosive, insect-infested, moldy and smelly, it should be thrown away and given up eating, otherwise a large number of harmful substances such as bacteria and germs will enter the body through eating, leading to health problems.

Five Taboos of Eating Jujube 2 Four Big Misunderstandings about Eating Jujube

1, jujube has a good blood-enriching effect-a serious misunderstanding!

First of all, it is good for anemia patients to eat jujube, just like eating other fruits such as apples or grapes. However, if you expect jujube to play a special role in enriching blood and even treat iron deficiency anemia, just like pig liver or meat, it is wrong.

The iron content of jujube (fresh) is relatively high among fruits, which is 1 and 2 mg/100g. However, like other plant foods, the iron absorption rate in jujube is extremely low, so it can't be well utilized by human body.

The content of vitamin c(vc) in jujube (fresh) is the best among fruits, which is 243 mg/100g. Vc can promote iron absorption and help prevent iron deficiency anemia. However, as discussed above, you can't eat more Chinese dates (fresh). Eating ten or eight Chinese dates is purely itching for blood.

2, jujube has a high sugar content, so it is not suitable for constipation-serious misunderstanding!

First of all, the logic of this sentence is wrong. High sugar content will aggravate constipation? How is that possible! There is no sugar in the stool, and sugar will not affect the stool. There is no relationship between the two. What's more, foods with high sugar content abound, and jujube is more than that.

The actual situation is that jujube contains more dietary fiber, which has a laxative effect. Therefore, eating jujube (as well as other fruits and vegetables containing dietary fiber) is helpful to relieve constipation. Of course, practice is the only criterion to test the truth. Those who are constipated can try jujube to see whether it aggravates constipation or relieves constipation. Isn't it boring for the media or "experts" to talk about it

3, jujube can not be eaten with carrots-a serious misunderstanding!

The reason to support this statement is that jujube (fresh) is rich in vitamin c(vc), while carrot contains oxidase that can destroy vc, so the meeting of the two reduces the nutritional value of jujube. The first two sentences are correct. Jujube has vc and carrot has oxidase, but the last conclusion is wrong. The ability to destroy oxidase in carrots is very limited, and even the vc contained in carrots can't be destroyed. How can we destroy the vc in other foods?

Therefore, if you really care so much about vc being destroyed, the "best" strategy can only be not to eat carrots. But this is also a problem, because in addition to carrots, cucumbers and other vegetables also contain oxidase that destroys vc, so even cucumbers are not eaten? But it still doesn't work. Although other foods don't destroy the oxidase of vc, they also have other shortcomings, such as cholesterol in eggs and saturated fat in meat and milk ... Don't eat them together? Starve to death.

As for the nonsense that jujube can't be eaten with seafood, jujube and green onions can't be eaten together ... based on food, it's not worth refuting.

4, jujube should not eat more? Misunderstanding!

As we all know, jujube (fresh jujube) is not easy to digest. This is because jujube not only has a low water content of 67% (80%~90% for other common fruits), but also has a high dietary fiber content of 1, 9%, which is significantly higher than other common fruits (for example, grapes average 0, 4%, apples average 1, 2%). Dietary fiber (especially insoluble cellulose) can not be digested in the stomach and small intestine, and it will cause gastrointestinal discomfort when it is ingested in large quantities at one time.

The dietary fiber in jujube is mainly concentrated in the skin. The pulp of jujube is crisp, but the skin of jujube is very thin and hard. It is difficult to mash thoroughly when chewing. You can try it: after chewing jujube (fresh jujube), don't swallow it, spit it out and observe it. You will find that there are different sizes of jujube peel fragments mixed in it, which are separated from the pulp, with different shapes, hard texture and sharp edges. As you can imagine, if your gastric mucosa happens to have inflammation or ulcer after swallowing, it is tantamount to sprinkling salt on the wound, which will cause pain or discomfort.

Five Taboos of Eating Jujube 3 Taboos of Eating Jujube

1, red dates+green onions: easy to cause indigestion.

Jujube can tonify the spleen and stomach, replenish qi and promote fluid production, nourish the heart and moisten the lungs, nourish blood and soothe the nerves. Green onions can remove fishy smell and greasy taste, and can also stimulate the secretion of digestive juice and increase appetite.

But the combination of the two can easily lead to indigestion. Furthermore, Chinese medicine believes that onion is a pungent food to help fire, and jujube is also a kind of sweet and pungent food. Eating them together is easy to make the internal heat worse.

2, red dates+sea crabs: easy to suffer from cold and heat diseases

Sea crabs and red dates are alike, and they are prone to cold and heat diseases when eating together. They can only be eaten at most 2 hours apart.

3, red dates+animal liver: destroying vitamins

Jujube should not be eaten with animal liver. Animal liver is rich in copper, iron and other elements. These metal ions can easily make vitamin C contained in other foods oxidized and lose their efficacy, so red dates should not be eaten with animal liver at the same time.

4, red dates+milk: affect the absorption of protein.

Don't eat high-protein foods, such as dairy products, immediately after eating dates. Because vitamin C will make the protein in these two foods coagulate into lumps, which is not easy to be absorbed, we should eat high-protein food after eating jujube1~ 2 hours.

5, red dates+Scrophularia: functional grams

Scrophularia has a very good effect of clearing away heat, expelling toxin and detoxicating, and can prevent and relieve fever, sore throat and so on. Because it belongs to cold food, it can prevent and treat febrile diseases.

Jujube is sweet and warm, and has the functions of invigorating spleen and stomach, benefiting qi and promoting fluid production. Can't eat with red dates, because the efficacy and function of the two are completely opposite.

Different ways to eat red dates have different effects.

1, jujube soaked in water, nourishing the liver and detoxifying.

Experiments show that drinking jujube water to people with poor liver function every day for 1 week can increase human serum protein, thus achieving the effect of protecting liver and detoxifying. A brewing detail of jujube determines its efficacy. Jujube peel is tough and difficult to digest. If the whole jujube is brewed, it is difficult to completely dissolve its effective components, so it is best to break it before brewing. It should also be noted that fresh red dates should not be brewed or boiled. This is because its vitamin C content is very high, and boiling in hot water will seriously destroy vitamin C.

2, red dates porridge, soothe the nerves and help sleep

In traditional Chinese medicine, women have symptoms such as anxiety and uneasiness, which can be treated with appropriate amount of lily and lotus seeds with red dates. If cooked with millet, it can better play the role of jujube in calming the nerves.

3. Steamed dates to prevent asthma.

Chinese medicine believes that jujube has the effects of recuperating organs, nourishing qi and blood, strengthening yang and promoting fluid production, and eating jujube can play a certain role in preventing asthma. Asthma patients, especially the elderly patients, should insist on eating steamed dates every day, generally eating 5 jujubes and 8 jujubes to boost their spirits and enhance their immunity.

4, red dates boiled eggs, blood and beauty

Add longan to red dates and boil brown sugar water. When the dates are rotten and longan is soft, beat an egg. Continue to cook the eggs with low heat. Red dates, longan and brown sugar all have the effect of enriching blood, and the boiled eggs are very nourishing.

5, jujube tea, qi to protect the throat

Stir-fry red dates and make tea to drink, which can treat stomach cold and stomachache, and then add longan to it, which is the tea for enriching blood and invigorating qi.
