Usually, it is appropriate to eat 3-7 large red dates per day and 10 small red dates. As a common food, dates are suitable for both young and old and can be eaten all year round. However, there are individual differences in the number of dates you can finish each day because of the size of the dates and your personal constitution. Red dates are common in traditional Chinese medicine use and have the ability to nourish the qi, nourish the yin, strengthen the spleen, and nourish the blood and calm the mind. Red dates are commonly used for women during menopause, anemia, tumor patients, and immune deficiencies, and long-term adherence to red dates can be a good adjunct to treatment. Because of the low moisture and high calorie content of sun-dried jujube, it is not recommended to consume large amounts of jujube, but only 3-7 jujube per day. In addition, red dates are hot in nature and can easily cause fire and phlegm, increasing the burden on the stomach and intestines, so people with a weak spleen and stomach are advised to take them after steaming or making soup.
