Can I eat winter dates during confinement?

You can eat winter dates during confinement. Winter jujube is rich in vitamins and trace elements, especially vitamin C. The vitamin C content in every 100 grams of pulp is as high as 380 to 600 mg, and it is known as the "King of Fruits". Eating it while pregnant women can effectively supplement nutrition, replenish qi and blood, strengthen the spleen and aid digestion, protect the liver, regulate immune function, etc. It has obvious therapeutic effects on maternal qi and blood deficiency, anemia, lung deficiency cough and other symptoms.

Precautions for eating winter dates during confinement

1. It is not advisable to eat them on an empty stomach often. Winter dates are sticky and difficult to digest. The spleen and stomach function of postpartum women is very weak. Therefore, if postpartum women often eat them excessively on an empty stomach, it will cause indigestion and loss of appetite, and may also cause stomach stones.

2. It should not be eaten with cucumber or radish. Radishes contain anti-thermocarbase and cucumbers contain vitamin-degrading enzymes. Both ingredients can destroy the vitamins in red dates.

3. It should not be consumed at the same time as vitamins. The vitamins in dates can decompose and destroy vitamin K, reducing its therapeutic effects.

4. It should not be consumed at the same time as animal liver. Animal livers are rich in elements such as copper and iron. Copper and iron ions can easily oxidize the vitamins contained in winter dates and cause them to lose their effectiveness.

5. It is best not to boil it with water. Because the temperature exceeds 80℃, the vitamin C in the dates is destroyed. It is most nutritious to eat them raw after washing with clean water. Eating 5 to 8 winter dates every day is very beneficial to the body.

6. Do not eat high-protein foods immediately after eating winter dates. Vitamin C will cause protein to coagulate into lumps and make it difficult to absorb, so you should eat high-protein foods 1 to 2 hours after eating dates.

7. It is forbidden to eat when taking antipyretic drugs. Taking antipyretic drugs while eating high-sugar foods such as red dates can easily form insoluble complexes, reducing the initial absorption rate. Jujubes are foods with high sugar content, so they are taboo to be eaten.

8. It should not be consumed when taking bitter stomachic or carminative stomachic medicines. Bitter and carminative stomachic drugs rely on the bitter taste of the drug to stimulate the taste organs, reflexively increasing the excitability of food to the central nervous system to aid digestion and increase appetite. If you take jujubes while taking the above medicines, it will obviously affect the efficacy of the medicines.
