Eating more will promote saliva secretion, and moisture will gather in the body, causing edema to be more serious. Women who are prone to edema should eat more foods that dispel dampness and promote diuresis. Eating red dates during the menstrual period will cause excessive menstruation, and it is generally necessary to start eating red dates after the physiological period.

Jujube is a warming food. If people with big internal heat eat jujube again, it will add oil to the fire and cause symptoms of damp heat. At the same time, jujube has a high sugar content, which is not suitable for diabetic patients, and it is easy to lead to an increase in blood sugar.

Generally, eat high-protein food one to two hours after eating red dates. It is particularly important to note that dates cannot be eaten with seafood, and excessive consumption will cause food poisoning.
