Although jujube is a good tonic, the extremes meet. Excessive eating of jujube has certain side effects, which can easily lead to diarrhea, dampness stagnation, dryness and heat, tooth decay and other problems.

The so-called excessive internal heat is a concept of traditional Chinese medicine, which is a general term for symptoms caused by oxidative stress in modern medicine. Jujube is rich in sugar, and eating too much will lead to an increase in blood sugar, which will easily lead to stress, that is, it belongs to the category of excessive internal heat.

Jujube is rich in nutritional value, which has the functions of tonifying the middle energizer, nourishing blood and calming the nerves. Long-term moderate consumption has a certain health care effect on the human body. However, because jujube is a warm food, if you eat too much, it will also generate some internal heat slightly, causing symptoms such as herpes on the lips, blistering on the tongue, and even nosebleeds.
