Does eating dates really enrich the blood? In fact, there are many misunderstandings. Jujube has many benefits like other fruits, but it may not be so good for enriching blood. Myth 1: Jujube has a good blood-enriching effect. The iron content of jujube (fresh) is relatively high in fruits, which is 1.2 mg/100 g, but like other plant foods, the iron absorption rate in jujube is extremely low, so it cannot be well utilized by human body. The content of vitamin C(VC) in jujube (fresh) is the best among fruits, which is 243 mg/100 g. VC can promote the absorption of iron and help prevent iron deficiency anemia. However, dates (fresh) can't often be eaten more. Eating ten dates and eight dates is just scratching your blood. Myth 2: Jujube has a high sugar content and is not suitable for pregnant women with constipation. First of all, the logic of this sentence is wrong. Can high sugar content aggravate constipation? How is that possible! There is no sugar in the stool, and sugar will not affect the stool. There is no relationship between the two. What's more, foods with high sugar content abound, especially jujube. The actual situation is that red dates contain more dietary fiber and have a laxative effect. So eating dates (and other fruits and vegetables containing dietary fiber) is helpful to relieve constipation. Of course, practice is the only criterion for testing truth. People with constipation can try jujube to see if it aggravates constipation or relieves constipation. Is it boring for the media or "experts"? Myth 3: Jujube can't be eaten with carrots. The reason to support this statement is that jujube (fresh) is rich in vitamin C(VC), while carrot contains oxidase that can destroy VC, so the meeting of the two reduces the nutritional value of jujube. The first two sentences are correct. Jujube has VC and carrot has oxidase, but the final conclusion is wrong. The ability to destroy oxidase in carrots is very limited, even the VC contained in carrots can't be destroyed. How can I destroy VC in other foods? Therefore, if you really care so much about the destruction of VC, the "best" strategy can only be not to eat carrots. But this is also a problem, because in addition to carrots, cucumbers and other vegetables also contain oxidase that destroys VC, so even cucumbers are not eaten? But it still doesn't work. Although other foods do not destroy the oxidase of VC, they also have other shortcomings. For example, eggs have cholesterol, and meat and milk have saturated fat. Don't eat together? This is obviously impossible. As for the nonsense that jujube can't be eaten with seafood, jujube and green onions can't be eaten together ... based on food, it's even less worth refuting. Jujube is a good thing, you can eat it in moderation, and all kinds of food should be taken in your mother's place to be healthy.
