Eating jujubes like this is equivalent to eating "poison", and I only learned about it today, so I should pay attention when eating jujubes in the future.
Since ancient times, jujube has been known as a good fruit for health preservation, and is deeply loved by the majority of health people, especially women and middle-aged and elderly friends. It has extremely high nutritional value, rich in protein, fat, vitamins, etc., especially the content of vitamin C, far exceeding other fruits, known as the "king of vitamin C". Long-term consumption of jujube can nourish the spleen and stomach, nourish the blood and calm the nerves, nourish the body, etc., and is a rare healthy food. Therefore, it has become an indispensable health product for us. However, although jujubes are good, they are not suitable for consumption anytime and anywhere. Here are some tips about jujubes, hoping to help you better understand this healthy product.
The first point is that for people with stomach discomfort, especially those who often feel acid reflux heartburn, friends with excessive stomach acid and acid reflux heartburn symptoms, red dates are not suitable, and it is recommended to eat less or no red dates. Because jujube peel is difficult to digest, it may increase the burden on the stomach and intestines, affect the quality of sleep, and may even cause physical discomfort.
The second point is that for diabetics, jujube is a food that needs to be treated with caution. The sugar content in jujube is high, and eating too much jujube will cause too much sugar in the body and aggravate the condition. Even in healthy people, long-term consumption of large amounts of jujubes may increase the risk of diabetes.
Third, jujubes should not be eaten on an empty stomach. Because jujubes are not easy to digest, eating them on an empty stomach will stimulate gastric acid secretion, which may cause gastrointestinal problems such as gastric ulcers. At the same time, the skin of jujube is hard, and eating it on an empty stomach may scratch the stomach and intestine wall. Therefore, for the sake of gastrointestinal health, it is recommended to drink a glass of warm water before consumption to moisturize the stomach and intestines before consuming other foods. Usually try to avoid eating jujubes on an empty stomach.
Fourth, women in special periods, such as swollen eyes and swollen feet during menstruation, should also temporarily stop eating jujubes. This may be because there is too much moisture in the body, and jujube tends to promote moisture. At this time, eating jujubes not only does not achieve the health effect, but may aggravate the discomfort of the body.
Fifth, patients in the early stage of a cold should also be cautious about eating red dates. At this time, the human body is fighting against external evils, and the sticky nature of red dates may promote evil qi, resulting in evil qi remaining in the body, which is not conducive to the recovery of colds. During this period, the diet should be mainly light and try to avoid nourishing foods. Therefore, patients in the early stage of cold should not consume red dates.
Sixth, it is not advisable to eat a large amount of red dates before going to bed at night. Eating foods that are not easily digested before bed can cause bloating and interfere with sleep. Because the gastrointestinal peristalsis slows down at this time, eating a large amount of jujube may cause flatulence, increase the burden on the stomach and intestines, and affect the quality of sleep. If you want to consume jujube before going to bed, it is recommended to drink jujube water in moderation. In order to maintain the taste and nutritional value, the jujube can be broken and brewed with water to better exert its health benefits. At the same time, it should be noted that fresh jujubes should not be brewed or decocted with boiling water, because the high temperature will destroy the vitamin C in it.
Of course, after mastering these little knowledge, we can still make full use of jujube to bring many benefits to the body and turn jujube into a variety of delicacies. For example, jujubes are chopped and mixed with brown sugar and milk and fried until the sugar melts, then eggs and flour are added and stirred before baking. Such delicious jujube cake not only retains the nutritional value of jujubes, but also adds a different flavor. Or add jujubes to the staple food and steam, which is a healthy and delicious way to eat. You can add jujube to steamed bread or rice to steam together, which can not only retain the nutrients of jujubes, but also avoid excessive burden on the stomach.
Jujube is a kind of nutritious fruit with remarkable health effect. Although jujubes are good, they need to be eaten in moderation according to their own conditions. As long as we know the right way to eat it and mix the ingredients properly, we can make the most of the many benefits that this natural and healthy food brings to the body. Only by eating jujubes at the right time and in the right way can they truly exert their health benefits.
