First of all, let's look at the benefits of red dates:
In traditional Chinese medicine, the application of red dates can be divided into the following categories:
1, spleen and stomach: people with spleen and stomach weakness, diarrhea, fatigue and weakness, eat seven red dates a day, or eat them with Dangshen and Atractylodes macrocephala, which can tonify the spleen and stomach and achieve the effect of appetizing and stopping diarrhea; Jujube, ginger and Pinellia can be used together to treat gastritis caused by careless diet, such as abdominal distension and vomiting.
2, qi and blood: jujube is a good tonic, and jujube is often added to the diet to nourish the body and nourish blood.
Dr. Andy Sun, MD of National Taiwan University, strongly advocates that eating more red dates, astragalus and medlar in peacetime can enhance the vitality of the body and enhance immunity.
3, nourishing blood and calming the nerves: female bipolar disorder, crying and uneasy, uneasy and so on. Using jujube, licorice and wheat together with Ganmai jujube soup can nourish blood, soothe the nerves, soothe the liver and relieve depression.
4. Relieving drugs: Jujube is often used in prescriptions with strong medicinal properties to reduce the side effects of strong medicinal properties and protect healthy qi. For example, in Ten Jujube Soup, jujube is used to reduce the toxicity of laxatives such as Gansui, Euphorbia Euphorbia and Wuhua, and to protect the spleen and stomach from harm.
What is the effect of soaking red dates in water?
Jujube can be fried in an iron pan and soaked in water, which can treat stomach cold and stomachache, and then longan is added, which is the tea for enriching blood and invigorating qi, especially suitable for teachers, salespeople and other people who often use their voices. If you add 4~6 capsules of Lycium barbarum, you can also treat constipation, but people with loose stools should not add Lycium barbarum. Female friends who often drink red dates, longan and wolfberry tea have fair skin and good beauty effect. Don't put too much medlar, just a few, and 6~8 red dates and longan will do. Make yourself a cup after work every morning, which can not only replenish blood, but also improve your eyesight, especially suitable for workaholics who look forward to being in front of the computer for a long time. 3-5g of medlar, 3 red dates and 2-3 longan. Don't overdo it.
As the saying goes, "If you want good skin, put red dates in your porridge." It can be eaten with many things. You can eat it directly in water. It is best to drink jujube water on an empty stomach for breakfast, so that its nutrients can be easily absorbed. The method is as follows: prepare a thermos bottle, put ten to twenty (more or less optional) pitted red dates into boiling hot water before going to bed every night, turn off the fire immediately after the water is boiled again, pour it into the prepared thermos bottle, soak it for one night, and drink it in the morning. About two or three cups a day is enough. But it is worth noting that red dates must be pitted, otherwise they will be too hot and dry. After drinking for a period of time, you will find that the clever use of jujube water improves the skin color and reduces the spots on your face. Even if you don't wear makeup and your cheeks are red, you don't have to be afraid to become a yellow-faced woman at a young age.
At the same time, soaking dates in water is also taboo:
1, tonic with red dates is not suitable for all female friends. For example, during menstruation, some girls often show signs of edema in their eyes or feet, which is really the embodiment of wet weight, so such people are uncomfortable to eat red dates. This is because red dates are sweet, and eating too much is easy to produce phlegm and dampness, which leads to water accumulation in the body and aggravates edema symptoms. At the same time, there are girls who take red dates as supplements and belong to hot and dry constitution, and they are not comfortable to take them during menstruation, because this may lead to excessive menstrual blood and endanger their health.
Although jujube is a good tonic, it is harmful to eat too much. Because eating too much fresh red dates is easy to cause diarrhea and dangerous "spleen", therefore, people who have colds, fever, bloating and qi stagnation caused by exogenous wind and heat belong to those who avoid taking them. In addition, because jujube is rich in sugar, especially jujube made into snacks, diabetic patients will feel uncomfortable taking supplements to avoid blood sugar rising and aggravating their illness. In fact, in addition to drinking taboos, we should also pay attention to the diet: it is wise to eat with water, because it will not change the efficacy of tonic, but also avoid diarrhea caused by raw food.
3. Never buy red dates with stones removed. There are two reasons. One is that I don't know how to remove the core, and the other is that many nutrients in jujube will flow away.
