Liddell, Henry George; Scott, Robert. "A Greek-English Lexicon, ζίζυ May boost immunity. Jujube fruit may be able to boost your immune system, as it’s rich in vitamin C. Chico (also called GI 7-62) developed by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) in the 1950s [18]

On his visit to Medina, the 19th-century English explorer, Sir Richard Burton, observed that the local variety of jujube fruit was widely eaten. He describes its taste as like "a bad plum, an unripe cherry, and an insipid apple". He gives the local names for three varieties as "Hindi (Indian), Baladi (native), Tamri (date-like)." [22] A hundred years ago, a close variety was common in the Jordan valley and around Jerusalem. [23] The bedouin valued the fruit, calling it nabk. It could be dried and kept for winter or made into a paste which was used as bread. [24] Its precise natural distribution is uncertain due to extensive cultivation, but its origin is thought to be in southwest Asia, between Lebanon, northern India, and southern and central China, and possibly also southeastern Europe though more likely introduced there. [5] It grows wild but is also a garden shrub, kept for its fruit. You should aim for 25 to 35 grams of fiber a day. A diet that’s high in fiber has many benefits, including: Jujube polysaccharide has been reported to improve hematological parameters in anemic animal models. Mice of blood deficiency model were induced by releasing blood and injection of cyclophosphamide. The levels of RBC, hemoglobin and hematocrit were decreased, and the level of platelet was increased in model mice, as compared to control group. Compared with model mice, the decreased levels of RBC, hemoglobin and hematocrit were reversed by treatment with jujube extract; while the increased level of platelet however was down regulated in jujube-treated mice ( Xu et al., 2004). In another investigation, the activities of dietary jujube on the levels of RBC, hemoglobin and hematocrit were analyzed in colitis-associated colon cancer mice. These hematopoietic parameters in cancer mice were significantly decreased, as compared to control group; however, which were markedly increased in the jujube-treated mice ( Periasamy et al., 2020), suggesting possible beneficial effects of this fruit on cancer patients suffering from anemia. Besides, the extract of jujube possessed the ability to stimulate the activity of ATPase, i.e., Na+-K+-ATPase, Ca 2+-ATPase and Ca 2+-Mg 2+-ATPase, in erythrocyte, and therefore which was shown to promote bone marrow nuclear proliferation and to inhibit atrophy thymus and spleen in blood deficient animals ( Miao et al., 2006; Miao et al., 2010). Moreover, the intake of jujube extract (100–400mg/kg) was found to increase the level of EPO in blood circulation, which suggested that jujube might promote RBC level through up regulation of EPO production. In support of this notion, the applied jujube extract at concentrations of 0.75–3mg/ml in cultured Hep3B cells for 48h increased the expression of EPO transcription, and the increase was shown to be in a dose-dependent manner ( Chen et al., 2014b). In parallel, the applied jujube extract was able to stimulate the protein expression of EPO, giving ∼50% increase of the total protein ( Lam et al., 2016). The circulating EPO is produced by adult kidney cells; while kidney dysfunction contributes to inadequate amount of EPO production and renal anemia. In ibuprofen-induced nephrotoxicity rats, the intake of jujube extract (500mg/kg) improved kidney function by declining the levels of creatinine and urea, and this treatment could prevent histopathological damages of kidney ( Awad et al., 2014). On the other hand, the intake of Jian-Pi-Yi-Shen, a Chinese herbal decoction comprising of Astragali Radix, Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma, Dioscoreae Rhizoma, Cistanches Herba, and other four herbs, was able to improve renal function and kidney injury in anemia rats suffering from chronic kidney disease ( Chen et al., 2019). Jian-Pi-Yi-Shen improved the hematological parameters and stimulated EPO production ( Chen et al., 2019). Massive EPO-producing cells are identified in the renal interstitium. The occurrence of renal interstitial fibrosis is accompanied by decrease of fibroblasts, which impairs the production of EPO. Moreover, Jian-Pi-Yi-Shen was believed to ameliorate renal interstitial fibrosis, and the renal recovery might be related to improvement of EPO production. Thus, the function of jujube in promoting EPO expression in renal anemia patients was in line to that of Jian-Pi-Yi-Shen ( Chen et al., 2019). This assumption requires further studies as to confirm the ability of jujube to prevent/treat renal anemia through regulation of EPO production.

Having high phenolic content means that it would stand to reason that jujube could potentially provide these benefits or others. But that’s not a given. More research is needed to understand if its potential actually translates to benefits for human health. What the research shows The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest. Publisher’s Note The presence of bioactive compounds in jujube prevents your body from falling prey to free radical cell development, which cause symptoms associated with cancer. The antioxidant property of jujube makes it effective in combating cancer and other heart diseases. The ultimate source of the name is Ancient Greek ζίζυφον zízyphon. [8] This was borrowed into Classical Latin as zizyphum (used for the fruit) and zizyphus (the tree). A descendant of the Latin word into a Romance language, which may have been French jujube or medieval Latin jujuba, in turn gave rise to the common English jujube. [3] This name is not related to jojoba, which is a loan from Spanish jojoba, itself borrowed from hohohwi, the name of that plant in a Native American language. [9] [ which?] In addition to formulated decoction, jujube is also commonly supplemented with other foods to achieve health benefits. Jeong and Kim (2019) investigated the effect of jujube and chokeberry diet in high-fat and high-fructose diet-induced dyslipidemia in animal studies. Jujube (0.5%) and chokeberry powder (0.5%) were mixed to animal diet. After 10weeks of dietary treatment, jujube and chokeberry significantly ameliorated high-fat and high-fructose diet-induced dyslipidemia and improved insulin resistance ( Jeong and Kim, 2019). In support of this finding, the consumption of mixed jujube, almond and rice in healthy human showed a significantly lower glucose level, as compared to those with rice as reference ( Zhu et al., 2018). Future Opportunities

Antioxidants are substances that may prevent or delay types of cell damage, including damage caused by chemicals called free radicals. You’re exposed to free radicals from air pollution, cigarette smoke, and sunlight. Your body also makes free radicals during normal metabolic processes. People who suffer from anxiety and long term stress are recommended to consume the fruit raw or in juice form. The fruit contains a good amount of anxiolytics, which help soothe the body and are known positively impact your hormonal levels, preventing the body from the effect of stress hormones such as cortisol. 4. Anti Cancer Effect Sleep: Among jujube’s top uses in traditional medicine practices is to improve sleep. The thinking is that some components in jujube may affect your body’s serotonin system. One study showed one of the major components of jujube increased sleep significantly in animal models. Alternatives to jujubewhere A 0 and A t represent the absorbance values of the mixture prepared by 10 μl ethanol or 10 μl jujube extract mixed with 90 μl ABTS solution, respectively.

Laboratory of Plasma Application Technology, Institute of Advanced Technology, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei, China Witch's broom, prevalent in China and Korea, is the main disease affecting jujubes, though plantings in North America currently are not affected by any pests or diseases. [15] In Europe, the last several years have seen some 80%–90% of the jujube crop eaten by insect larvae (see picture), including those of the false codling moth, Thaumatotibia (Cryptophlebia) leucotreta.

Uses in Traditional Medicine

Jujube fruit is also commonly found dried. These dried Chinese jujubes are known as red dates. The dried fruits can be eaten directly, but they’re also often cooked into soups and tea. Dried red dates can be used in place of raisins or palm date fruits in cakes and other desserts.
