Why do people like pork tripe stewed with red dates so much?

Many people are wondering why red dates should be used to stew pork tripe. What effect will this combination have? Indeed, eating this combination of them has many benefits to the human body. It not only has health-care and anti-allergic effects, but also can play an anti-cancer and liver-protecting role. In addition, what other benefits does stewed pork belly with red dates have that people don’t know about? I hope the following introduction can be helpful to everyone. Let’s take a look together.

1. Red dates health care: The vitamin C content of red dates ranks first among all fruits, 80 to 90 times higher than apples and peaches, and about 140 times higher than pears. It is known as the "natural vitamin C pill." In recent years, scientists have discovered that red dates contain many other essential substances for the human body and have many new health functions:

Anti-allergy: Some people in China have used large red dates to treat allergic purpura. Eat 10 red dates three times a day, and it usually takes three days to take effect. Later, Japanese scientists discovered that red dates contain a large amount of a substance called cyclic adenosine monophosphate, which has the effect of dilating blood vessels and anti-allergic, while also having the function of enhancing myocardial contractility and improving myocardial nutrition.

2. Anti-cancer: Red dates are rich in triterpenoids (such as maslinic acid) and adenosine diphosphate. Most triterpenoid compounds have the function of inhibiting cancer cells, among which hawthorn acid has the strongest ability, exceeding the commonly used anti-cancer drug fluorouracil. Although adenosine diphosphate does not have the ability to inhibit cancer cells, it does have the function of regulating cell division. The synergistic effect of the two can make the abnormally proliferating cancer cells divide beyond normal. Animal experiments have also shown that when fed the same carcinogens, the percentage of animals that developed malignant tumors in the digestive tract that took red dates was only half of that of animals that did not take red dates. Therefore, while taking other anti-tumor measures, cancer patients can take food made from red dates every day, which not only has anti-tumor effects, but also can nourish qi and blood, strengthen the physical fitness, and alleviate the side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

3. Liver protection: Both experiments and clinical studies have shown that red dates can increase the levels of serum total protein and albumin. Clinical reports show that for patients with acute and chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, and patients with high serum transaminase activity, taking one dose of red dates and peanut soup (30 grams each of red dates, peanuts, and rock sugar, fry the peanuts first, then add the red dates and rock sugar) before going to bed every night, with 30 days as a course of treatment, can lower serum glutamic acid transaminase levels.

4. Alleviate the medicinal properties: Adding red dates to some prescriptions with strong medicinal properties can alleviate the medicinal properties to prevent the strong drugs from damaging the body's vital energy.

5. Rehabilitation of the human body: British scientists conducted an experiment on 163 weak patients and found that those who ate dates continuously recovered their health three times faster than those who simply took vitamins. Red dates have anti-fatigue effects and can enhance people's endurance. In addition, eating glutinous rice porridge cooked with red dates and pork bones regularly is a very good dietary supplement that can nourish the essence and blood, and is especially beneficial for people with blood diseases and the elderly and weak.

Because the red envelope stewed pork tripe is stewed slowly in a casserole over low heat, the pork tripe is very soft and tender. Also, because red dates are added, the soup has a light sweetness and is very delicious, so everyone says it is good after eating it.
