Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Li Man
Coronary heart disease patients can generally eat a moderate amount of green jujubes. Green jujubes are usually rich in nutrients, which not only help supplement nutrition but also have the effects of tonifying qi and blood and strengthening the spleen and stomach. In addition, consuming green jujubes may enhance myocardial contractility, dilate coronary blood vessels, and inhibit platelet aggregation, all of which are beneficial for patients with coronary heart disease. Therefore, patients can include them in their diet.
