Autumn and winter are coming, and cold weather often brings cold hands and feet to people. At this time, a hot "ginger date paste" can help us alleviate this problem. Ginger jujube paste is a kind of traditional Chinese medicine food therapy made from ginger and jujube, and its effect is mainly reflected in the aspects of dissipating cold in warmth, nourishing blood and soothing the nerves.
The warming effect of ginger is the first choice in autumn and winter dietary therapy. During the cold season, the blood vessels on the surface of the body tend to constrict, resulting in cold hands and feet. Ginger can warm the body by stimulating blood circulation and promoting the production and dissipation of heat in the body. In addition, ginger also has the effect of dispelling cold and dissipating cold, which can eliminate cold in the body and reduce the occurrence of cold syndrome.
The role of jujube is mainly manifested in nourishing blood and calming the nerves. Jujube is rich in vitamin C and iron, which can promote the production of red blood cells and increase the hemoglobin content in the blood, which plays a good role in nourishing blood. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that jujube has a calming effect, which can calm the mood and relieve symptoms of anxiety and stress.
To sum up, ginger jujube paste can not only relieve the problem of cold hands and feet, but also improve blood circulation, increase body temperature, and make people feel warm and comfortable. In addition, for women, moderate consumption of ginger jujube paste during menstruation can alleviate uncomfortable symptoms, balance endocrine, and improve immunity.
