The jujube is a great tonic for pregnant women, as it can nourish the blood and the qi, and remove dryness. At the same time, red dates can lower serum cholesterol, protect the liver and promote blood production in the body. Consumption of red dates can also nourish the blood and calm the mind, detoxify the liver and relieve depression, which is helpful in relieving the restlessness of pregnant women and preventing postpartum suppression. Jujube can also supplement folic acid and zinc to promote fetal brain development. Jujube is very rich in folic acid, which is involved in the production of blood cells and promotes fetal nervous system development. Dates also contain zinc, a trace element that is beneficial to fetal brain development and can promote fetal intelligence. Five jujubes a day is enough, but too many can cause excessive stomach acid and bloating.
