A good colleague of mine gave me some red dates and olive oil the other day, saying it was a New Year's gift from her husband's company. She also told me that they are very nourishing and then proceeded to give me a lesson.
She said that red dates have always been a food for longevity since ancient times. Regular consumption of red dates can combat aging, making the skin tender, fair, and rosy. They are rich in vitamin C, iron, and more. Red dates have the effect of strengthening the spleen and replenishing qi, nourishing blood, and can improve poor complexion.
In addition, red dates also have the effect of nourishing and moistening, which can moisturize the skin, improve dry skin, and make the facial skin rosy. Because red dates are rich in vitamin C, they can help fade freckles. Red dates can also promote the production of white blood cells, lower serum cholesterol, increase serum protein, and protect the liver. Red dates can also inhibit cancer cells and even cause them to transform into normal cells.
Red dates also have a certain therapeutic effect on diseases such as high blood pressure, cardiovascular diseases, insomnia, and anemia. One more thing to note is that red dates should not be eaten with seafood at the same time to avoid poisoning.
