Many people think that red dates are a snack and have no particularly good effect. So what's the use of eating red dates?

The research shows that jujube contains many vitamins, minerals and trace elements, and also contains 18 amino acids, fructose, fruit acid, jujube polysaccharide and so on. Known as "natural vitamin pills". As we all know, red dates can be eaten raw, can be used in soup, and have medicinal value.

"Compendium of Materia Medica" once recorded jujube: "Jujube is sweet and non-toxic, calming the heart and nourishing the stomach, calming the heart and calming the nerves, and dredging the nine orifices". Clinical medicine also confirmed that jujube has extremely high medical and health care value, especially in protecting the liver, strengthening the spleen, nourishing blood and calming the nerves.

First of all, cyclic adenosine monophosphate in jujube can enhance myocardial contraction, improve myocardial nutrition and inhibit platelet aggregation. At the same time, niacin in jujube can dilate blood vessels and reduce cholesterol content, so it can be used to prevent and treat angina pectoris, atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular diseases. Secondly, the fat, sugar and protein contained in jujube are all nutrients to protect the liver, and Chinese medicine believes that jujube has the functions of strengthening the spleen and stomach, tonifying the middle energizer and benefiting qi, and is a good tonic [1].

After listening to Miao Miao's words, do you think that eating red dates has so many benefits that you can eat them every day, but the curative effect is not right at any different dose, so everyone can eat red dates for health, but it is not recommended to rely on red dates to cure diseases.

However, although red dates are good, they are not suitable for everyone. So, who can't eat red dates?

Second, who can't eat red dates?

Jujube, as a homologous medicine and food, does have its unique charm, but it should be noted that not everyone can eat jujube. Some people, after eating red dates, not only can't get the benefits of red dates, but also have an impact on their health, and even have the risk of aggravating diseases, such as these four types of people.

First of all, people with heavy phlegm are not suitable for eating red dates. Because red dates can help dampness, it is more difficult to remove phlegm in the body, which will aggravate phlegm dampness. Secondly, red dates are warm, and people who often get angry are not suitable for eating, so as not to "add fuel to the fire."

Secondly, in the early stage of a cold, wind-cold or wind-heat attacks the human body very seriously. At this time, if you eat sticky red dates, it will lead to pathogens staying in the body, which is not conducive to the recovery of the disease. In addition, red dates contain a lot of sugar, which will aggravate diabetes, so diabetics are not suitable for eating red dates.

In addition, women can't eat red dates during menstruation, which is easy to aggravate the moisture in the body and cause edema of feet or eyes. Of course, people who are suitable for eating red dates should also pay attention. The more red dates you eat, the better. So, how many red dates can you eat every day?

3. How many red dates should I eat every day?

Jujube tastes sweet. Many people like to eat dates. Some people even use dates to kill time when they are bored. Some people think that eating more jujube is good for your health, but in fact these are misunderstandings. Eating dates is not as much as possible. Wang Hairong, chief physician of Huai 'an First People's Hospital, said that generally speaking, everyone can eat 3-5 red dates every day. Jujube is not suitable for digestion, and the heat is extremely high. Eating too much will affect digestion, even get angry and have too much stomach acid. Therefore, no matter how good things are, you can't eat too much at once.

In addition, red dates have always been a hot topic. In most people's minds, red dates are red and blood is red, so "supplementing color with color" can achieve the effect of enriching blood. However, this statement is wrong!

Fourth, extension: rumor! Jujube does not enrich blood.

In many people's minds, red dates have the effect of enriching blood, but in fact, eating red dates can not achieve the effect of enriching blood.

It is undeniable that jujube does have the function of nourishing blood and calming the nerves, but this does not mean that jujube can enrich blood, because enriching blood and nourishing blood are completely different concepts.

Enriching blood needs to increase the absorption of iron and the content of red blood cells in the body, so as to achieve the effect of enriching blood, and enriching blood is only the circulation of qi and blood, which is completely different from enriching blood.

In fact, in our daily diet, there are many foods with very high iron content and absorption rate, especially the blood and liver of animals. Followed by eggs, fish, poultry and so on. It also contains high iron, which is helpful for enriching blood, and can promote the absorption of iron in the body when eating iron-rich food with vitamin C-rich food, so as to achieve better blood-enriching effect.

Of course, don't forget to replenish qi while replenishing blood, because "qi is the handsome of blood, and blood is the mother of qi". Traditional Chinese medicine believes that Sijunzi decoction, which consists of ginseng, licorice, poria cocos and Atractylodes macrocephala, is the best prescription for invigorating qi, but it should not be overdone. It is best to do it under the guidance of a professional doctor to avoid getting twice the result with half the effort or even backfiring.
