One eclipse, three dates, youth is not old? Different ways to eat red dates have different effects.
Fresh dates are rich in vitamins, but sometimes they are seasonal and can't be bought often. Eating more may damage the digestive function. Although the vitamin content of dried jujube is reduced, the iron content is increased, and its nutrition is more easily absorbed, which is more suitable for diet therapy. This paper introduces several dietotherapy methods of jujube.
First, red dates soak in water to nourish the liver and detoxify.
A brewing detail of jujube determines its efficacy. Jujube skin is tough and difficult to digest. If the whole jujube is brewed, its effective components are difficult to be completely dissolved, so it is best to break it before brewing. It should be noted that fresh red dates should not be brewed or boiled.
Second, red dates make tea to replenish qi and protect the throat.
Making tea after frying red dates can treat stomach cold and stomachache. If longan is added, it is blood-nourishing and qi-invigorating tea, which is suitable for teachers and other people who often use their voices.
Third, jujube soup, cough and lungs
In the book "The Ineffective Prescription" written by Yu Yu in the Tang Dynasty, it is recorded that cooking soup with red dates, tremella and rock sugar can relieve cough and moisten the lungs. Put 20g of tremella into clear water, remove the pedicel, tear it into small pieces, put it into a pot with 20 red dates and 60g of rock sugar, add 6 bowls of water, boil it with strong fire, then simmer for half an hour, and then turn off the fire.
Fourth, red dates cook porridge to soothe the nerves and help sleep.
Chinese medicine believes that women with anxiety and other symptoms can be treated with appropriate amount of lily and lotus seeds with red dates. If you cook it with millet, you can better play the role of jujube in calming the nerves.
Fifth, red dates are soaked in wine, and blood vessels are unobstructed.
During the soaking process of jujube, nutrient-rich organic matter is more easily dissolved in wine. It has a certain effect on keeping blood vessels unobstructed.
Special reminder:
1. Dried dates vary in size. Although there is little difference in nutrition and dietotherapy efficacy, it is suggested from the taste that Chinese dates, especially those produced in Xinjiang, are very sweet when soaked in water, and it is best to tear them into pieces before eating; Porridge and wine can be chosen at will.
Jujube is good for health, but not the more the better. Medium-sized dates should not exceed 15 at a time. Excessive consumption will damage the digestive function and cause hyperacidity and bloating.
As the saying goes, "Eat three dates a day and you will never get old." The most prominent feature of jujube is its high vitamin content. Chinese medicine believes that jujube can invigorate qi and nourish blood, promote fluid production and quench thirst.
