Research has shown that jujube contains a variety of vitamins, minerals and trace elements, but also contains 18 kinds of amino acids, fructose, fructic acid, jujube polysaccharides and so on, known as "natural vitamin pills". As we all know, jujube can be eaten raw, can also be boiled in soup, but also has medicinal value.
The Compendium of Materia Medica has recorded jujube: "jujube taste sweet, non-toxic, Anzhong nourish the spleen, calm stomach qi, through the nine orifices", and the clinical medicine has also confirmed that jujube's health care value is very high, especially in the protection of the liver as well as replenish the spleen, nourish the blood, and tranquilize the mind.
First of all, the cyclic adenosine phosphate in jujube can enhance myocardial contraction, improve myocardial nutrition, inhibit platelet coagulation, etc. At the same time, the nicotinic acid in jujube has the function of expanding blood vessels and reducing cholesterol content, so it can be used to prevent and control angina pectoris, atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular diseases. Secondly, the fat, sugar and protein contained in jujube are nutrients that protect the liver, and Chinese medicine believes that jujube has the function of strengthening the spleen and stomach, tonifying the middle and benefiting the qi, and is a good tonic [1].
Listening to Xiaomiao said these, you are not think eat jujube surprisingly have so many benefits, then eat every day, but any different dose to say the efficacy is not right, so we can eat jujube health, but do not recommend relying on jujube to treat diseases
However, although jujube is good, not everyone is suitable to eat. So, what kind of people can not eat red dates?
Two, who can not eat red dates?
As medicine and food of the same source of jujube does have its unique charm, but it should be noted that not everyone can eat jujube. There are some people eat jujube, not only can't get the benefits of jujube, but also will have an impact on the body, and even the risk of aggravating the disease, such as these four categories of people.
First of all, people with heavy phlegm-dampness, these people are not suitable to eat red dates. Because red dates will help wet, resulting in phlegm stays in the body more difficult to remove, will aggravate the phlegm wet, and secondly, red dates partial warm tonic, often on fire is not suitable to eat, so as not to "pour oil on the fire".
Secondly, in the early stage of a cold, the invasion of the body's wind-cold or wind-heat evil is exuberant, then if you eat sticky jujubes, it will lead to the stagnation of evil in the body, is not conducive to the recovery of the condition. In addition, red dates contain a lot of sugar, will aggravate diabetes, so diabetic patients are also not suitable for eating red dates.
In addition to this, women in the menstrual period can not eat red dates, easy to aggravate the body of water and dampness, swelling of the feet or eyes, of course, suitable for people to eat red dates should pay attention to, red dates are not eat more the better, then, how many red dates you can eat every day?
Three, how many red dates per day is appropriate?
Jujube taste sweet, many people like to eat jujube, and even some people will take jujube to pass the time when they are bored, there are some people feel that eating more jujube is good for the body, but in fact, these are misunderstandings, jujube is not the more you eat the better. Huai'an first people's hospital WangHaiRong chief physician said, generally speaking, everyone can eat 3-5 jujube a day. Red dates should not be digested, and the calorie is very high, if you eat more will affect the digestion, and even fire, excessive stomach acid, so that even the best thing can not eat too much at once.
In addition, jujube blood has been a very popular topic, in most people's concept, that jujube is red, blood is also red, so "color by color" can achieve the effect of replenishing blood, however, this statement is wrong!
Four, extension: rumor! Red dates do not supplement blood
In many people's minds that red dates have the effect of blood, but in fact eat red dates and shall not achieve the role of blood.
It is undeniable that jujube does have the effect of nourishing blood and tranquillizing the mind, but this does not mean that jujube can replenish blood, because replenishing blood and nourishing blood are two different concepts.
The blood is needed to increase the absorption of iron, enhance the body's blood red blood cell content, in order to achieve the effect of replenishment of blood, while the blood is only line and blood, and replenishment of blood is completely different.
In fact, in our daily diet, there are a lot of food iron content and absorption rate are very high, especially animal blood and liver. Secondly, eggs, fish, poultry, etc. also contain high iron, these foods are helpful to replenish blood, and eat iron rich food with food rich in vitamin C, can promote the absorption of iron in the body, to achieve a better effect of blood replenishment.
Of course, do not forget to replenish the blood while replenishing the qi, because "qi is the marshal of the blood, blood is the mother of qi". Chinese medicine believes that ginseng, licorice, poria and atractylodes composed of four gentleman soup for the best qi remedy, but whether it is to replenish qi or blood, should not be excessive, it is best to carry out under the guidance of a professional physician, so as to avoid half the effort, or even counterproductive.
