"Eat three jujubes a day and you will not look old for the rest of your life." Do you believe it? However, someone really "eat three dates a day", more than 90 years old can still struggle in the workplace, he is the national medical master - Lu Zhizheng. However, the old man ate jujube can have to pay attention to, and we usually eat jujube method is not the same.

The role of red dates is not to replenish blood

When it comes to the role of jujube, many people will say "blood". Modern Nutrition Society tells you that jujube can't replenish blood, because the iron content in jujube is really not high.

(This paragraph is theoretical and can be skipped)

According to modern nutritional theory, iron is one of the main components of hemoglobin and is associated with the formation and maturation of red blood cells. Iron enters young erythrocytes in bone marrow hematopoietic tissues and combines with porphyrin to form n-iron hemoglobin, which in turn synthesizes hemoglobin with bead protein. When iron deficiency, the amount of hemoglobin in the newborn erythrocytes is insufficient, even affecting the synthesis of DNA and the division and proliferation of young erythrocytes, but also shorten the life span of erythrocytes, and increase the hemolysis of itself.

Iron deficiency anemia is the most common and universal type of anemia, so, generally speaking, when it comes to supplementing blood, it will think of supplementing iron. The iron content in jujube is really not high, 100g dry jujube, iron content is 2.3mg, 3 jujube iron content is less than 1mg. while the adult daily iron demand, men for 15mg, women for 20mg. obviously, eat 3 jujube every day, the contribution of iron supplement is not very big.

In fact, "jujube blood" is a Chinese medicine saying, Chinese medicine said "blood" and now talk about the difference between blood. If we look at the "food composition table", we will find that the Chinese medicine commonly used "blood" things, iron content is generally not very high, such as red dates, cinnamon, angelica, goji berries and so on.

The concept of "blood" in Chinese medicine is different from the concept of "blood" in modern medicine, and Chinese medicine pays more attention to the overall view of blood supplementation, while also considering the relationship between yin and yang, qi and blood, and the five organs.

For example, jujube, instead of saying that it replenishes the blood, it should be said that it strengthens the spleen. Although the skin of jujube is red, the flesh of jujube is yellow, and yellow enters the spleen; the flavor of jujube is sweet, and sweetness also enters the spleen. In terms of the characteristics of jujube, it is closer to the spleen.

The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine - Suwen says, "Jujube is the fruit of the spleen."

Tang Dynasty famous food therapist Monk said, date "the main complementary fluid, nourish the spleen qi".

Kou Zongshi, a famous pharmacologist in the Song Dynasty, said, "Jujubes ...... are sun-exposed into medicine to benefit the spleen and stomach."

Li Shizhen said, "Jujube is also a medicine for the blood portion of the spleen meridian."

Wang Meng, a famous doctor in the Qing Dynasty, said that jujube "replenishes the spleen and nourishes the stomach".

See, through the ages, the books, the evaluation of jujube, are said to be "beneficial to the spleen and stomach", and did not say that it "replenish blood". But the spleen and stomach is the source of qi and blood biochemistry, the spleen and stomach healthy transportation, even if the tea and rice, people's qi and blood is also full.

Should I eat fresh or dried dates?

There are fresh dates and dried dates, is it better to eat fresh or dried?

The most prominent nutrients in fresh jujubes are vitamin C. In 100g of fresh jujubes, the content of vitamin C reaches 243mg. The recommended daily intake of vitamin C for adults is 100mg, and eating a few fresh jujubes can satisfy the demand for vitamin C.

Vitamin C has many functions, such as promoting collagen synthesis, neurotransmitter synthesis, antibody formation, iron absorption, folate utilization, antioxidant, scavenging of free radicals, etc. It can also prevent scurvy.

However, in the view of Chinese medicine, fresh jujube can only be eaten as a fruit, if you really meet the physical condition, the need to regulate, but also with dry jujube.

Wang Mengying said, "Fresh ones are sweet and cool, benefit the intestines and stomach, help dampness and heat, more food suffers from flatulence and diarrhea, heat and thirst, and the least beneficial."

Dried dates must be used in Chinese medicine. For example, Kou Zongshi said, "Sun-exposed into medicine." Li Shizhen said, "Sun-dried jujubes must be used to enter medicine as good."

Red dates as ordinary people's daily health, fresh and dried jujube can be eaten, fresh jujube supplement vitamin C, but eat too much may be on the stomach and intestines have stimulation, cause diarrhea, or help to generate dampness and heat. Dry jujube nature more calm, more conducive to the health of the spleen and stomach, but also can not be greedy, dry jujube than fresh jujube sweeter, eat more will be "born of insects damage to the teeth, more harm".

How should I eat red dates?

Most people eat dates, either directly dry chewing, as a snack; or make tea or porridge, soup and eat.

When I was little, my mom used to wash the dates and put them on a pot to steam for 20-30 minutes before giving them to me.

I just thought that steamed dates tasted better. It wasn't until I saw an episode of the "Health and Wellness" program with national physician Lu Zhizheng that I realized that my mom was pretty wise.

At the age of more than 90, the old man is still able to go to the clinic and take doctoral students, such a physique is enough to make everyone envious. State Medical Master Lu Zhizheng has shared many of his health tips in the program "Health Hall", and he pays great attention to the maintenance of the spleen and stomach. He said that the easiest way to regulate the spleen and stomach is to start from the diet, such as drinking soup before meals, chewing slowly, and he likes to eat vinegar-soaked ginger, as well as three jujubes after meals, and the yam can not be missing, and so on.

The old road to eat jujube but have to pay attention to, after the "three steam". After steaming, the original bad digestion of the date skin, become better digested, date meat is also more soft, sweeter flavor, stronger nourishing power.

Some people eat jujube, will feel the stomach is not too comfortable, because the jujube skin is relatively hard, not well digested. Known as the "mountain in the prime minister" of the pharmacist Tao Hongjing said, jujube "its skin, meat to fill the deficiency. Li, that is, Tongli, often can make people diarrhea. If people with weak spleen and stomach, the whole date to eat together feel uncomfortable, the date steamed and then eat, or peeled and then eat. Not steamed dates are not good to peel, steamed dates want to peel much simpler.

Lu Lao "three steamed dates" practice: first wash the dates, but do not soak. Then put the dates on the steamer to steam. First steam for 20 minutes, dry for 3 or 4 hours, then steam again, then dry for 3 or 4 hours, then steam again, a total of three times. Each time you steam, start with high heat, wait for the water to boil, change to medium-low heat to steam.

After steaming them three times, the color of the dates became much darker. My mom steamed the dates for me, and even though I only steamed them once, I thought they were delicious. It turns out that steaming dates is not only for the sake of deliciousness, but also has such benefits in it.

Lu Lao said to eat 2 large dates and 3 small dates can be eaten after meals.

Who can't eat dates?

Although the date can strengthen the spleen and stomach, but some people with weak spleen and stomach, there has been a thick and greasy tongue, loose stools, stomach bloating, phlegm, wet heavy symptoms, you can not eat jujube, this time to eat jujube, not only can not strengthen the spleen, but also aggravate phlegm and dampness, and help to generate dampness and heat. Have to first through other methods, spleen, dampness, and then eat jujube. But jujube as can reconcile all the medicine "peacemaker", it is likely to appear in the spleen to dispel dampness in the formula.

There are also diabetics are not suitable for eating dates, after all, dates are very sweet, fructose content is not low, or should be controlled, but occasionally eat 1, 2 can not hurt.

Sugar is also not very friendly to teeth, after eating dates, it is best to rinse your mouth with warm water. Jujubes are delicious, but also can not be greedy, too much, moderate.

Thanks for the invite.

Not long ago also watched the national medical master Lu Jinghua's interview, often eat jujube is very helpful to health, jujube on the spleen and stomach regulation is very effective, and longevity must be the first from the fundamental spleen and stomach to start, regulating the spleen and stomach need to start from the daily diet, and the Lu Jinghua teacher for many years have a dietary habits, that is, must eat three jujube daily (after meals), in the old Lu's description of the jujube spleen and stomach, for the middle-aged and elderly friends is very good! way to regulate the spleen and stomach.

But in the way of eating jujube, Lu Lao but there are articles. Many friends drink water with jujube, in fact, jujube has a lot of beneficial ingredients are insoluble in water, if you drink water with jujube, and ultimately do not eat the jujube, may lose a lot of jujube nutrients. Use jujube soup porridge is not recommended, date flavonoids, polyphenols may be long heating and loss, and into too much juice of the jujube meat becomes pale white and tasteless, jujube meat flaccid, not delicious, so it is easy to be discarded, so it's too much of a waste.

Road jujube recommended to eat jujube "three steam", first of all to choose jujube, jujube meat thick, jujube meat meat solid, jujube has a certain weight, color and lustre of bright red jujube better quality. Then to bathe, wash away impurities in the date skin, but do not soak. Then steam the jujube, with medium-strong fire for about 20 minutes, then put it in a cool place for 3~4 hours and then steam it again for 20 minutes, after the water boils, change it to a small fire and steam it again. Steam them again each time you eat them, pulling off the hard skin and inner core.

Long-term eating jujube can regulate the effect of weak spleen and stomach, but unfortunately the date skin of dietary fiber is high, digestion is not easy, especially for pass mouth is not good, digestion is weak friends is more so, but liver jujube jujube skin is not good peeling, and with the steamed jujube can be very good to remove the jujube skin, and steamed jujube jujube meat is tight but soft, retaining the sugar is higher, the taste is very good. Many friends think that if the three steaming method is complicated, they can also eat steamed jujube, for example, put in rice and steam together, can also get very good results.3

Jujubes in our country has thousands of years of history of consumption, has always been the people as health nourishing good, folk have "eat three jujubes, longevity" said, jujubes taste sweet, jujube meat is soft and glutinous, by many people's favor.

How to eat red dates is the most nourishing?

Red dates belong to a kind of dried fruit, the nutritional value is still not low. Fresh dates, like most fruits, are rich in vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber and phytochemicals. In the process of making red dates, water evaporates, and the content of vitamin C and vitamin B1 decreases substantially, but the content of minerals such as calcium, potassium, magnesium, iron, selenium, dietary fiber and phytochemicals is almost unchanged, so red dates, as a kind of snack, are used as a substitute for cookies, candies and preserves, and so on. that is also a healthy food.

Many anemic people eat jujube to replenish blood, in fact, jujube is not the best food to replenish blood. Although red dates contain a certain amount of iron, about 2mg/100g, but the iron in plant food is non-heme iron, low absorption and utilization rate, far less than the red animal food, therefore, eating red dates can only be as a kind of beneficial supplement to iron, can not be used as the main method to solve anemia.

Red jujube outer skin is relatively hard, rich in dietary fiber, indigestion is not suitable for people to eat more, eat more easy to cause bloating, aggravate the burden on the stomach and intestines. Red dates also contain a lot of sugar, mostly in about 70%, some even reached 80%, high concentration of sugar also increases the calorie, therefore, eat more red dates may also lead to energy overload, increase the possibility of obesity.

Red dates can be eaten in many ways, can be eaten dry, steamed, boiled, but also can be mixed with other foods, porridge, steamed rice, evaporated cake and so on. If eaten dry, the texture is the hardest, need to fully chew to swallow. If eaten boiled, the date meat becomes fluffy and easily digestible, and steamed dates are somewhere in between. A study found that these three ways of eating, dry jujube glycemic index is the lowest 56, and stewed soft jujube rise blood sugar very quickly, down fast, not suitable for diabetics and hypoglycemic people. Steamed jujube, eaten after rising blood sugar quickly, but the rate of descent is not as fast as stewed jujube, the glycemic index is 65.

If it is a normal digestive ability of the crowd, directly eat raw red dates can be, can be used as a healthy snack, between meals to play a complementary role, if it is a weak digestive ability of the people, can be steamed or boiled jujube eat, can soften the dietary fiber. If the blood sugar is not very stable people, it is not recommended to eat steamed dates or boiled dates, not to mention with rice to eat, that may cause large fluctuations in blood sugar, not conducive to blood sugar stability.

Jujubes are the traditional nourishing dried fruits of the Chinese people, and there is a saying that "eating jujubes every day will make you live forever". Jujubes according to different varieties and different places of origin, the nutritional composition is also different, with Cangzhou's golden jujube, Xinjiang Aksu jujubes, Hetian jujubes are more famous.

Red dates are air-dried by fresh dates, losing most of the water, but the nutrients are concentrated. Dried jujube contains high sugar content, at the same time energy is not low, also contains protein, vitamin B1 and B2, vitamin C, vitamin P, calcium, iron, phosphorus and other minerals. From Chinese medicine, red dates are sweet and warm in nature, belonging to the spleen and stomach meridians, and have the effect of tonifying the middle and benefiting the qi, nourishing the blood and tranquilizing the spirit, making them a good tonic.

Red dates in Chinese cuisine is an indispensable role, it has a lot of ways to eat, eat raw can strengthen the spleen and stomach; put into the porridge seasoning, there are blood nourishing and tranquilize the mind, improve the effect of insomnia; you can also cook rice when you put jujubes, especially with glutinous rice and yellow rice to do Lapatis, sweet and soft, can nourish qi and blood;

Every New Year's time steamed rice cake, jujube diet indispensable protagonist, the jujube wash, steaming break, the jujube spread in the middle of the yellow rice or glutinous rice noodles, can be two layers, you can also do three layers, the entrance of the sweet and soft, to eat is a taste of the year.

There is also jujube tea, which is the tea that my grandmother, who was over 90 years old, used to make. The jujubes are roasted in a pot until the skin of the jujubes slightly breaks, and then brewed with boiling water, so that all the nutrients in the jujubes are released in the water, and the tea has the nutrients and sweetness of the jujubes. Can also and silver ear, eggs, brown sugar and so on together to do dessert, have beauty, nourish the blood and tranquilize the efficacy of the spirit.

In short, how to eat the best red dates, and do not need to be overly concerned, because it is just a food, and is a dry substance, each time to eat the amount is not much, the effect on the body is also a long-term consumption of the results will be.

I believe that many people know that jujube is a health food, and there is a folk saying called: "eat three jujube day, life is not old". It is because of this saying, there are many women also take the red dates as a good beauty product to replenish the blood and qi.

In fact, say jujube have blood effect is a misunderstanding, jujube iron content is not very high, dry jujube per 100 grams contains 2.3 mg of iron, fresh jujube is less per 100 grams contains 1.2 mg of iron. And still the human body absorption utilization rate is relatively low non-heme iron, that is, we people often say the trivalent iron. If you want to replenish iron and blood, you must eat heme iron, that is, bivalent iron will have the effect.

Although red dates alone are not a good food for iron and blood, though they are not useless. The vitamin C content of red dates is very high. Every 100 grams of jujube contains 243 mg of vitamin C. (This refers to fresh jujube, dry jujube vitamin C content is less pitiful, every 100 grams of exhaustive contain 7 mg. And the sugar content is elevated while drying, so try to choose fresh red dates to eat.)

Vitamin C can promote the absorption of iron, iron deficiency anemia patients in eating iron supplement food at the same time also eat more food rich in vitamin C, in order to better promote the absorption of iron in food.

Although jujube itself is not a good food to replenish iron and blood, but jujube is rich in vitamin C is a good food that can help iron absorption. Then what is the food that replenishes iron and blood? The answer is red meat, animal blood and animal liver, which we nutritionists also call"The Iron Triangle"It is only nourishing if red dates can be consumed with all three of them, and here's a"Lean pork soup with fungus and dates."

Prepared ingredients: 10 grams of dried fungus, 200 grams of lean pork, red dates according to their own situation appropriate amount of

Ingredients: salt

Practice:

1. put the fungus into water, soak it, wash it after soaking and cut it.

2. Wash the lean pork and cut it into slices.

3. Blanch the meat briefly in water.

4. Put the appropriate amount of water in a pot, add the fungus and red dates, and boil over low heat.

5. Add lean pork, cook until the meat is cooked, add salt to taste.

PS: You can also swap lean pork for lean lamb, lean beef or animal liver, depending on your personal favorite.

Finally in the nagging sentence, red dates are very high in sugar, and rise blood sugar very quickly, so high blood sugar, diabetic patients are not recommended to eat.

Jujubes have always been treated as a tonic, many female friends think that jujubes can replenish blood and skin. Jujubes health is indeed not false, but there is really no role of blood ah.

Hello, I'm Dr. Xing, specializing in nutritional science for the middle-aged and elderly, welcome to follow me and share interesting nutritional tips every day.

Red dates have a long history in China, as early as the Western Zhou Dynasty, the people used red dates to ferment and make red date wine. Since long ago, jujube has been regarded as a good tonic. Red dates have certain nutritional value, but some reports do overstate the case.

Red dates to replenish blood is actually a "rumor", for thousands of years we have always felt that the color of red dates and blood similar to the so-called shape to shape, so red dates can replenish blood. In fact, jujube and blood two words have no connection at all, specific nutritional reasons can look at my previously published content, here will not do overstatement. Jujube nutrition is not low, only can not supplement blood

Jujubes can not be beauty, there are claims that jujubes are rich in vitamin C, can promote collagen synthesis. Fresh jujube is indeed rich in vitamin C, content of 247mg/100g, China's Hebei Province, Fuping jujube vitamin C content can even reach 600mg/100g. can be dried jujube vitamin C a lot of reduction in the content of 14mg/100g, want to supplement the Vitamin C, eat a catty of dry jujube as eating a few two small cabbage.

Of course, jujube also has its unique nutritional value. Don't look at jujube is a kind of fruit, its protein value is not low at all, the content is 3.2g/100g, the key is to contain 8 kinds of essential amino acids needed by the human body, and the utilization rate of protein is high. Red dates also contain red date polysaccharide, organic acid, adenosine and other active ingredients, can promote health.

Here, we recommend a few ways to consume red dates.

• Walnut and red date cake: Steam 100g of red dates and mash them into puree, mix them with flour, chopped walnuts (appropriate amount) and yeast. Then rinse with warm water while stirring until the flour becomes a paste. Pour the batter into a steamer tray and bake in the oven at 150℃ for about 20 minutes. The sweetness of red dates itself is not low, so it is not recommended to add extra sugar.

• Coconut Red Date Chicken SoupBlanch chicken thighs in a pot of boiling water, remove and drain. Take a ripe fresh coconut, pour out the coconut water and set aside, take out the coconut meat and cut it into slices. Wash the red dates to remove the core of the dates, and then put the chicken, coconut meat, red dates and ginger into the pot, add the right amount of water, boil over high heat and then slow cook on medium heat for about two hours.

We usually use jujube soaked water to drink is also very good, the water has a hint of sweetness can promote more drinking water. Only the sugar content of jujube is not low, we do not put too much jujube oh.

"Focus."It's the biggest support for Xing, if you think it's good, please poke it!"Like," "retweet," "comment."Thank you.

When it comes to jujube we are all too familiar with it, and what we hear most is that eating jujube has the effect of iron supplementation. But the fact is that plant-based iron utilization is not high. Because trivalent iron itself in the body absorption process, will be phytic acid, oxalic acid, phosphoric acid, dietary fiber and other factors hinder, absorption and utilization efficiency is far less than animal sources of heme iron so high. Therefore can only say that red dates is indeed one of the sources of dietary iron, but also counts as a better snack and sweets, eat a little every day is a useful supplement, but can not be used as iron supplementation, to solve the problem of iron deficiency anemia quality ingredients.

As for how to eat red dates most nourishing, in fact, there is no particularly absolute practice.

In other words, you can eat it any way you want, as long as you feel that this way of eating is more suitable for you and more acceptable then it doesn't matter which way you choose to eat it. For example, if you have good digestion and good teeth, you like to eat it straight from the table, which is fine.

If the elderly or people with weak digestive function, eating red dates directly will have an uncomfortable stomach. Then it can be completely steamed, or boiled rice or porridge to eat. And after heating, the date skin that is not well digested can be removed directly.

Summarize is there is no need to obsess about how to eat jujube health, want to eat how you can, suitable for their own is the best. However, when eating jujube key is to control the amount, do not eat too much every day, small jujube 10 or less appropriate, big jujube control in 3 or less appropriate. There is also sugar lovers eat with caution.

The function and value of red dates will not be mentioned here. According to my experience of eating jujube for many years: the best time to eat jujube alone is to eat it on an empty stomach, or to eat it three or four hours after meal. And the amount should not be too much, every day when you get up early, or at night when you go to bed feel the stomach seems to have a little bit of hunger when you eat the best. Eat only two at a time.

Cold winter season, every day you can boil a small bowl of half a bowl of ginger jujube brown sugar water to drink down to warm the stomach and drive away the cold evil. Especially girls with cold stomach pain on vacation, so eat very good.

Red dates, are good for both medicinal and food purposes! Everyone must be able to use it.

Welcome to follow Curiosity Eatery and talk about food with your cousins~!

As the saying goes, "three jujubes a day, youth does not appear old". Red dates in our daily life, whether as a snack, or as a health tonic, are very popular, especially sought after by women.

How to eat red dates is the most nourishing?

The so-called eating red dates for health is, frankly speaking, through food. To supplement or regulate the physiological structure. Let all aspects of the body's function is more coordinated, more healthy, we eat this kind of method is also called therapeutic, whether it is therapeutic or say health, this is to be a long term process, not that you eat three dates today, or in a few days and then eat three dates, so it is certainly not, you want to achieve the best effect of health, you have to adhere to every day.

So how to eat red dates most nourishing? This problem, I thought for a long time, compared a lot of people's habits and practices, summed up the best way is also the most simple and effective method, that is, directly eat. If you are going to cook tea, porridge, soak, soup and so on method is very good, but you can not adhere to the long-term, you cook porridge today, tomorrow a tea, the day after tomorrow a soup, the day after tomorrow, perhaps you are afraid of trouble, the heart will want to empty a day does not matter it! When you have this idea, one day and two days is not much difference, two days and three days is not much difference, slowly three days fish two days, and even stopped completely, this is also the status quo of the majority of people now health.

What if you just eat three dates a day? No boiling, no soaking, no soup, just wash them and eat them. That way there would be no excuse, no reason to stop eating it for a day.

One crucial factor to be able to stick with it for a long time is to choose the right dates, which is the most crucial.

Dates are good to eat is the basic condition to stick to, dates are not good, not to mention what long-term, short-term is a problem.

So far, the best jujube I've ever eaten would be the Ruoqiang gray jujube from Xinjiang. If I remember correctly, Xinjiang has two kinds of jujube is more famous, one is the Hotan jujube, the head is very big, there is the size of an egg head. One is the Ruoqiang gray jujube, head is not big, only 2-3 cm size, this kind of jujube skin thin meat, jujube nucleus is very small, there is a very thick natural sweet flavor of jujube aroma, eat up a kind of dense and not lose chewy taste. Especially have to say this date skin, this date skin is very thin, eat up completely will not have to hit the feeling of slag, such dates do not have to force themselves, willing to eat from the heart. There is such a delicious date can still have insisted on the reason not to go on?

Well, that's all there is to this issue, and I think this is the way to eat dates for the long haul and to be more nourishing.
