Eating jujubes often is good for maintaining the heart. It can dilate blood vessels, enhance myocardial contractility, and rapidly increase the oxygen content in the blood, thereby increasing the oxygen supply to the heart. While accelerating metabolism, it can also improve myocardial nutrition. In addition, the flavonoids contained in jujubes also help calm, lower blood pressure and improve sleep.
