Several studies confirm that the jujube (Ziziphus) plant is rich in bioactive compounds that can benefit human health. Jujube contains triterpenoid acids, which have anti-cancer effects, as they can inhibit the growth of cancer cells in the body.
It has been shown that consuming jujube reduces the occurrence of constipation-related symptoms, such as bloating, stomach pain, and difficulty in bowel movements in adults.
Studies indicate that consuming jujube can lower total cholesterol levels and low-density lipoprotein (LDL, “bad” cholesterol) in adolescents with high cholesterol.
However, there is no evidence that jujube can improve high-density lipoprotein (HDL, “good” cholesterol) levels.
Providing jujube (Ziziphus) to infants with jaundice may not help reduce their bilirubin levels—the chemical in the blood that causes yellowing of the skin—but it may shorten the duration of hospitalization for these infants.
Jujube can be particularly beneficial for the elderly or those with osteoporosis, as it is rich in minerals necessary for bone formation. It is a good source of calcium and phosphorus, which support bone health.
Jujube fruits are low-calorie and contain no fat. In addition, they are high in fiber and protein.
Jujube (Ziziphus) has anti-inflammatory properties that may help eliminate toxins from the blood, although more practical research is needed to fully understand how jujube aids in blood purification.
Brain cells begin to deteriorate with age, which may increase the risk of various neurological disorders. Jujube has a calming effect on the mind, and studies suggest that this fruit may be effective in treating neurological conditions. Jujube also improves the function of astrocytes, the cells responsible for protecting neurons.
The anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of jujube may help treat acne, skin imperfections, and scars.
