What are the benefits of eating dried sour jujube?

Dried sour jujube is a kind of dried fruit obtained by collecting fresh sour jujube after it matures and drying it in the sun. It is a healthy edible ingredient and can also be used to cook porridge or soak in water. It can supplement the human body with rich citric acid and various trace elements, can stimulate appetite and help digestion, and can also reduce inflammation and kill bacteria. There are many other effects and functions of dried sour jujube. Next, I will give a further introduction to it.

The efficacy and function of dried sour jujube

1. Stimulate appetite and help digestion

Although the water content of dried sour jujube is relatively low, it retains the rich nutrition of fresh sour jujube porridge and has a particularly sour taste. If we break it apart and soak it in water to drink it directly, we can absorb rich plant acid and citric acid, and even more rich vitamin C. These substances can promote saliva secretion and accelerate gastric acid secretion, which can make people feel a good appetite and speed up the digestion and absorption of food in the body by the stomach and intestines.

2. Prevent scurvy

Scurvy is a common disease in humans, and the main cause of this disease is the lack of vitamin C in the body. Dried sour jujube is a healthy food ingredient with a particularly high vitamin C content. People can absorb and utilize the vitamin C it contains as quickly as possible after eating it, which can meet the body's normal metabolism and the need for this vitamin, and can also fundamentally prevent the occurrence of scurvy.

3. Beauty and skin care

The vitamin C, vitamin E, carotene and other nutrients contained in dried sour jujube can improve the antioxidant capacity of human skin after being absorbed by the human body, and can clear the free radicals in the human body and prevent free radicals from damaging human skin. Regular consumption of dried sour jujube can improve the skin's anti-aging ability, nourish the heart skin, fade spots and whiten the skin.

4. Maintain acid-base balance

When the acid-base balance of the human body's internal environment is out of balance, the body will experience a variety of discomfort symptoms. People classify these manifestations as sub-health. If they are not treated in time, many diseases will become prevalent. Eating more dried sour dates in daily life can maintain the acid-base balance of the body's internal environment. It can speed up the metabolism of acidic substances in the human body, which is of great benefit to enhancing human physical fitness and improving human health level.
