Do you like jujube tea??

 

Because of its sweet and slightly bitter taste, opinions may vary, but jujube tea is really good for your health.

 

Jujube fruit has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties.

Rich in riboflavin, thiamine, pectin, and vitamin C.

In particular, the flavonoids and bi-flavonoids in jujubes help absorb vitamin C, improve digestion, promote blood circulation, and prevent allergies.

The generally known benefits of jujube are excellent for weight loss, improving sleep quality, and relieving constipation.

In addition to the known effects, it has a wide range of other benefits, so I am sharing them with you~

 

My mother has depression, sleep disorder, and high blood pressure, so I am taking care of her.

Actually, jujube tea is said to be very effective in recovering from fatigue and other symptoms.

It would be even better if I could cook it myself and eat it, but haha, I'm not that diligent..

I often buy the jujube tea prepared by the traditional tea house introduced by an older sister I know and keep it in the refrigerator, then heat it up and serve it to my mom at home.

 

When you purchase, you also receive jujubes and sunflower seeds to float on the jujube tea as toppings~~

It's also delicious as a snack~ ^^

 

 

It looks a bit like traditional medicine, but... surprisingly, jujubes are very sweet and delicious~~ When you drink it, oh!!! I feel like I'll become healthier~ that kind of taste!!

If you look at the benefits of jujube tea below, there are many advantages that are really good for elderly people to consume~

I think it would be nice to gift jujube tea instead of regular drinks to parents, or for those who are skilled at cooking, purchasing jujubes during the season and boiling them for them~

 

 

The benefits of jujube tea

 

Dietary Effect: Jujubes are rich in protein and fiber, low in calories, and provide a significant sense of fullness when consumed. They help lower glucose levels, which can prevent weight gain and abdominal fat accumulation.

Cold: When our immune system weakens, the risk of respiratory illnesses like colds increases. Jujube extract has the effect of boosting immunity, so drinking warm jujube extract regularly when you have a cold can be helpful and also aid in improving respiratory conditions.

Inflammation treatment: It has been revealed through clinical trials that jujube has efficacy in treating rheumatoid arthritis.

Vitality: Jujubes have long been widely used as a tonic, and regular consumption helps strengthen weakened internal organs, thereby not only boosting vitality but also contributing to increased energy and physical strength.

Insomnia: Jujube juice has been famous since ancient times as a fruit that induces sleep. It contains components that relax the nerves (flavonoids, saponins, and polysaccharides), which are especially abundant in jujube seeds. Since jujube juice is made without removing the seeds and apricot kernels, it can provide many benefits.

Muscle relaxation: When muscles are tense or stiff, or when muscle spasms occur frequently due to stress, for example, when experiencing high stress, eye twitching may occur. Drinking jujube juice can be effective when specific muscle spasms happen frequently.

Diuretic effect: Jujube is good for the kidneys and helps promote active diuresis, which also helps eliminate waste products from the body, benefiting vascular diseases and hangovers.

Relief of chronic constipation: The fiber content of jujube helps prevent chronic constipation, as dietary fiber acts as a laxative, making bowel movements easier, improving intestinal barrier function, and activating AMPK enzymes, which also makes it a treatment for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Additionally, pectin has the efficacy of preventing diarrhea.

Blood pressure regulation: It helps lower blood pressure by increasing nitric oxide levels, which improves blood flow to the brain. Additionally, jujube juice is rich in potassium and low in sodium, aiding in vasodilation and blood pressure control.

Anti-aging: Jujubes contain a large amount of vitamin C, which helps prevent melanin deposition and pigmentation.

Bone strength improvement: Rich in calcium, phosphorus, and iron, which help enhance bone strength. It is beneficial for people suffering from osteoporosis and other conditions that cause bone degradation.

 

However, since jujubes have the effect of lowering blood sugar levels, diabetics should consume them only under a doctor's guidance. It is also not recommended for people preparing for surgery, as it may negatively affect anesthesia. Due to their high fiber content containing cellulose, they are not advised for individuals with significantly impaired digestive function.
