The three taboos of eating dates

There is no such thing as the three taboos of eating jujube, but dampness and bloating, food accumulation (food indigestion and stagnation in the stomach) and other people need to be careful. Jujube is the dried mature fruit of the jujube plant of the Rhamnaceae family, which can be used for both medicinal and food purposes. As a traditional Chinese medicine, it has the effect of tonifying the middle and benefiting the qi (treating qi deficiency by replenishing the spleen), nourishing the blood and tranquilizing the mind (stabilizing the mind and soothing the emotions by nourishing the blood), and its medicinal properties are sweet and warm, and it is attributed to the spleen, stomach, and heart meridians. It is currently used to treat conditions such as loose stools (thin and unformed feces), spleen deficiency with low food intake, and is suitable for those with spleen deficiency, as well as those with dirty agitation (upset and depressed, sadness and wanting to cry for no apparent reason) and insomnia. However, it should be taken with caution for those who suffer from dampness and fullness in the epigastrium (abdomen), food stagnation (indigestion of food stagnating in the stomach), caries and toothache, insect stagnation, and phlegm-heat coughs. Because jujube is a tonic drug, jujube taken by such people may cause the retention of disease evils, leading to aggravation of the condition. The adverse effects of jujube have not been clarified, but in order to ensure the safety of medication, patients who use jujube as medication to treat diseases are recommended to do so under the guidance of a doctor, so as not to jeopardize the health of the body. If patients experience discomfort during the period of taking jujube, they should consult a doctor in time to take relevant treatment measures. In daily life, need to ensure sufficient rest, do not overwork, and ensure a positive and optimistic state of mind.
