How to eat red dates to be healthy?

In daily life, jujube is a very common health food, and many people eat jujube, especially female friends. Eating red dates often is good for your health, so what are the misunderstandings about eating red dates? Let's take a closer look!

The misunderstanding of eating red dates

Jujube has a good blood-enriching effect.

The iron content of jujube (fresh) is relatively high in fruits, which is 1.2mg/ 100g. However, like other plant foods, the iron absorption rate in jujube is extremely low, so it can't 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.

Jujube has a high sugar content, so pregnant women should not be constipated.

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. Isn't it boring for the media or "experts"

Red dates 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 VC contained in carrots can not 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.

Red dates should not be eaten more.

As we all know, jujube (fresh) is not easy to digest. This is because jujube not only has a low water content of 67% (80%~90% of other common fruits), but also has a high dietary fiber content of 65,438 0.9%, which is significantly higher than other common fruits (for example, the average of grapes is 0.4%, and the average of apples is 65,438 0.2%). Dietary fiber (especially insoluble fiber) can not be digested in the stomach and small intestine, and a large amount of intake at one time will cause gastrointestinal discomfort. The dietary fiber in jujube is mainly concentrated in the peel, and the pulp of jujube is brittle, but the peel of jujube is very thin and hard, so it is difficult to crush it completely when chewing.

You can try it: chew the jujube (fresh), don't swallow it, spit it out for observation. You will find that there are different sizes of jujube peel fragments mixed in it, which are separated from the pulp, with different shapes, hard texture and sharp edges. It is conceivable that if your gastric mucosa happens to have inflammation or ulcer after swallowing, it is tantamount to sprinkling salt on the wound, which will cause pain or discomfort.

Slightly rotten, edible.

Although jujube is crisp, sweet and delicious, it is rich in nutrition, but it is not easy to preserve and easy to deteriorate. When Chinese dates rot, microorganisms will multiply in large numbers, and fruit enzymes in Chinese dates will continue to decompose pectin to produce mucinous acid and methanol, which can be decomposed to produce formaldehyde and methanol. Eating rotten dates can lead to dizziness, eye damage and life-threatening.

You can take it with vitamins.

Some substances in jujube will decompose and destroy vitamin K, which greatly reduces the therapeutic effect of jujube.

Eat red dates when taking antipyretics.

Taking antipyretics and eating foods with high sugar content are easy to form insoluble complexes and reduce the initial absorption rate. Jujube is a food with high sugar content, and it is forbidden to eat jujube during this period. Patients with dental caries pain, abdominal distension and constipation should not eat dates.

Don't chew red dates slowly.

Jujube is a good tonic and aftercare product. You can eat it often, but you should not overdo it. Eating too much can cause problems such as hyperacidity and bloating. Moreover, jujube peel is difficult to digest, so you must chew it slowly.

Eat red dates without drinking water.

Jujube has a high sugar content, which is harmful to teeth. If you eat too many red dates, but don't drink enough water, it is easy to get tooth decay. People who already have dental diseases should not eat dates.

Nutritional efficacy of jujube

More and more people like to eat dates, especially girls. This is because jujube has many health-care effects, and the effect of enriching blood and invigorating qi is more obvious. Let me first introduce some nutritional effects of jujube on women.

Have rosy cheeks.

The doctor said: women are more likely to suffer from iron deficiency anemia. On average, about 20% of adolescent women and 50% of pregnant women will have anemia.

Jujube is rich in iron, which plays an important role in the prevention and treatment of menstrual anemia and postpartum blood loss, and its effect is usually incomparable to drugs. Jujube also contains a lot of cyclic adenosine monophosphate, which can regulate the metabolism of human body, make new cells generate quickly, eliminate old cells and dead cells quickly, and enhance the hematopoietic function of bone marrow and the content of red blood cells in blood.

nourish the skin

Dermatologists believe that working in front of the computer for a long time will lead to many skin problems, the most serious of which is dryness.

Jujube is very rich in nutrition, with the highest contents of vitamin C and vitamin P, ranking first among all kinds of fruits. The content of vitamin C in fresh jujube is 7~ 10 times higher than that in citrus and 75 times higher than that in apple. It is generally recognized that lemon is a representative rich in vitamin P, but it is ten times worse than fresh jujube. Eating jujube regularly can enhance the elasticity of skin, enrich subcutaneous tissue and make skin tender and smooth.

No wrinkles

Beauty is not old. It's just a legend. Wrinkles can't grow, but they can grow later, later!

Vitamin C contained in jujube is a highly active reducing antioxidant, which can participate in the reduction of physiological oxygen in the body, prevent melanin from depositing in the body, and effectively reduce wrinkles and pigment deposition.

Stand up straight

I often have backache, and I can't talk about any elegant posture at all; Nails are soft and easy to break, so you don't want to make any crystal or French details to shape beautiful women, but without health, there will be no details!

Jujube is rich in calcium, which plays an important role in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis and can help you extend the shelf life of tall and straight figure. Among jujube foods, the nutritional components of drunken jujube are greatly lost, and almost all vitamin C is destroyed, but the mineral content of jujube increases after soaking in wine. Therefore, the calcium content of drunken jujube is the best among these jujube products, which is about 75 mg per 100 g.

Fitness and lose weight

Jujube has the function of promoting intestinal peristalsis and is a good product to lose weight. Lying on the sofa, watching TV and playing games, you can chew a red date when your mouth is restless. You should have heard that chewing gum has the effect of face-lifting, and chewing red dates is better! However, it is worth reminding that the sugar content of red dates is high and the calories are naturally not low, so if your purpose is to lose weight, please control the intake of red dates.

Male decompression

For women, it may be known that people eat jujube to replenish blood. Not only that, fresh dates can easily decompress men, and men with better living conditions can eat more dates.

Fresh jujube contains a lot of vitamin C, which helps to secrete adrenocortical hormone. We can't blindly eat dates, sometimes eating dates will also affect our health. Because the fresh jujube peel contains a lot of insoluble cellulose, so try not to "swallow the jujube" when eating, and chew it slowly, otherwise it may cause discomfort such as bloating.

In fact, chewing slowly is also a way to release stress and calm your mood. At the same time, don't eat fresh jujube on an empty stomach or before going to bed, otherwise you will feel heartburn. Office workers might as well eat more fresh dates as extra fruit at 10 am or at 3 or 4 pm.

Since fresh dates are easy for men to decompress, it is better to eat more dates in the season of life. No matter what kind of people, it is good to eat more.

Helps prevent gallstones

Eating fresh dates often helps to prevent gallstones. A large amount of insoluble cellulose in fresh jujube peel can reduce the reflux of bile acids in enterohepatic circulation. With less bile acid, the probability of stone formation will be reduced to some extent.
