In recent years, with the enhancement of people's awareness of health care, people pay more attention to diet and health care. Many people are used to eating several dates a day or adding red dates when cooking porridge, thinking that red dates are good for their health.
1, improve immunity
Jujube can promote the production of white blood cells, and the role of white blood cells is to devour viruses and abnormal cells, so eating more red dates can enhance immunity.
2. Prevention of anemia and osteoporosis
Jujube is rich in iron and calcium, which is especially suitable for children, teenagers and the frail elderly. It can promote bone growth, prevent osteoporosis and relieve anemia symptoms.
3. Prevention of gallstones
Jujube contains a lot of vitamin C, which can absorb undigested and absorbed cholesterol. Vitamin C can convert it into bile acids and reduce the risk of gallstones.
Jujube can be said to be a healthy food for men, women and children. Whether it's cooking soup, cooking rice or making whole grain soybean milk, red dates are indispensable. Many people also think that jujube is an indispensable good thing for female friends. But in fact, not everyone can eat red dates at will. The following two types of people should eat less.
1, people with hot constitution
The southern region is humid, and many women are accompanied by severe humidity. Eating red dates properly helps to regulate the body. However, women with hot constitution should eat as little as possible to avoid menstrual disorders or excessive menstrual flow.
2. Diabetic patients
Jujube contains too much sugar, so patients with hyperglycemia or diabetes should eat less or not to eat jujube, so as not to make the blood sugar index rise sharply.
As for red dates, it is also circulating on the Internet recently: eating too much red dates is easy to provoke moisture, which in turn leads to some physical problems. So, do red dates really absorb moisture and affect the body?
From the perspective of Chinese medicine, I am willing to help the wet. Because it tastes sweet to the spleen and is good for the spleen and stomach. Eating too many sweets will hinder the transport of the spleen, damage the spleen and stomach, aggravate moisture and accumulate phlegm in the body. Jujube has high sugar content and is sweet and greasy, and moisture is easy to stay, so eating jujube in large quantities will encourage moisture to stay in the body, thus causing abdominal distension and abdominal discomfort. Therefore, people with phlegm-dampness constitution, weak spleen and stomach, heavy humidity and qi stagnation should also eat less or even not eat red dates.
1, fried food
Many people like to eat fried food, such as French fries, fried dough sticks or oil cakes, fried chicken pieces and so on. , crisp outside and tender inside, can satisfy the taste buds. However, eating fried food often will reduce the function of the spleen and stomach, and it will not eliminate the moisture in the body, which will form a vicious circle in the long run.
2. Cold food
Cold food will aggravate the damp and cold qi in the body, especially for people with weak spleen and stomach. Eating too much cold food will aggravate moisture and damage the spleen and stomach. So eat less ice cream, iced drinks or food just taken out of the refrigerator. Eat more warm food, such as red beans, longan or mutton, yam and so on. , can help eliminate moisture and cold in the human body and reduce the damage to the spleen and stomach.
3, high-fat food
Fat, animal liver, kidney, intestine, large intestine and animal fat are all high-fat foods. Fat can provide heat energy for the body, and heat energy will increase water in the body. Therefore, people with heavy moisture should stay away from high-fat foods to avoid aggravating physical symptoms.
People with poor spleen and stomach eat 3~4 red dates a day, and healthy people should not eat more than 10 a day. In addition, when using red dates to make soup or porridge, a small amount of red beans and coix seed should be added to get rid of dampness.
