Jujube, also known as red date, is considered a nutritious food that helps in blood production. Many people believe that consuming jujubes can be beneficial, especially for women, as it may help improve vitality and energy levels. In traditional Chinese medicine, jujube is one of the most commonly used herbs that also serves as a food. It has a sweet and warm nature, and its main functions include strengthening the spleen and stomach, nourishing the blood, and calming the mind. It is often used to treat conditions such as spleen and stomach qi deficiency, blood deficiency anemia, insomnia, and other related issues.
For women suffering from anemia due to heavy menstrual bleeding, drinking jujube water regularly can help alleviate symptoms like paleness and cold hands and feet. However, there are certain contraindications. For example, during menstruation, some women may experience swollen eyes or swollen feet, which is often a sign of dampness in the body. These individuals should avoid eating jujubes because they are sweet and can increase phlegm and dampness, worsening edema. Additionally, women who are already hot-tempered or have internal heat should also avoid consuming jujubes during their period, as it might lead to excessive menstrual flow and potentially harm their health.
Moreover, since jujubes are high in sugar, especially when dried and processed into snacks, they are not suitable for diabetics. Consuming them could cause blood sugar levels to rise, which is harmful to those with diabetes.
Eating too many fresh jujubes can lead to diarrhea and may harm the spleen. Therefore, people suffering from colds, fevers, abdominal distension, or qi stagnation caused by external wind-heat should avoid consuming them.
In general, boiling jujubes is a better choice. This method retains their tonic properties while avoiding the risk of digestive discomfort associated with eating them raw. Boiling also makes them easier to digest and more suitable for daily consumption.
