2. Taboos of Jujube and Ginger Tea:
1. Eating jujube as a food supplement is not entirely suitable for all women. For example, during the menstrual period, some women often experience symptoms such as eye swelling or foot swelling, which are indeed manifestations of dampness. People with this kind of body type may feel uncomfortable eating jujube. Because jujube is sweet, eating too much can easily produce phlegm and dampness, causing fluid accumulation in the body and exacerbating edema symptoms. In addition, for women who consume jujube for nourishment, it is not conducive for women during their menstrual period, as this amount is too large and can lead to excessive menstruation, thereby affecting health.
2. Although jujube is a high-quality food for tonifying the body, it is not advisable to eat it excessively as it may cause diarrhea and ‘spleen’ danger. People with exterior wind-heat syndrome, fever, stuffy abdomen, and blood stasis are among those who should avoid taking it. In addition, due to the rich variety of sugars in jujubes, especially when used to make desserts, diabetics should eat it to prevent blood sugar levels from rising and worsening the condition. Of course, in addition to food taboos, the method of eating should also be very careful: boiling in water is the most intelligent choice, as it is not easy to change the medicinal power of food tonification and can prevent diarrhea caused by direct eating.
3. Do not buy peeled jujubes, for two reasons. One is that it is not clear how to peel them, and the other is that many nutrients of jujubes will be lost.
