Red dates are warm and greasy in nature, and are prone to dampness and heat. People with damp heat in the spleen should not eat them. Some people may have a strange odor and increased eye discharge after drinking red date water, which is the reason for the aggravation of damp heat. The people of Guangdong understand this very well, because Guangdong itself is humid and hot, and they are particularly sensitive to things that are slightly damp and hot. So when Guangdong grandma uses red dates to make soup, she must remove the core because the core is too hot.

Girls with a hot constitution are also not suitable to eat red dates during their menstrual period, as it can cause excessive menstrual flow. During menstruation, those with swollen eyes or feet, as well as bloating, are generally wet and heavy, and are not suitable for eating red dates.

People who are suffering from fever, cold, severe heat and dampness, swollen body, acne, or have thick tongue coating (usually thick and yellow indicating damp heat or external infection, thick and white indicating phlegm dampness or cold dampness) are not suitable for long-term consumption of red dates for supplementation. You should put less Congee and soup.

Also, for children and mothers who have just given birth, don't think that red dates are good for nourishing blood and just give them more to eat. Children only need to eat seriously, usually there is no need to specially supplement this and that. Eating too many red dates can also cause excessive heat and restlessness in children.

After giving birth, the first step for a mother is to remove blood stasis. If you give her red dates or other foods at this time, it may be more likely to cause phlegm and blockage.
