How Jamun seeds can be helpful in controlling diabetes

Diabetes is a common lifestyle condition that affects a large population across the globe and sadly, India is home to many suffering from diabetes. Stress, excess weight gain, and sedentary lifestyle are some of the important factors that lead to diabetes. What is more challenging is that diabetes is incurable, so you can only manage it by following a healthy and balanced diet.

While there are some foods that can negatively affect your diagnosis, there are also some foods that can benefit you and help manage your condition in a better manner. Fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds can all come in handy to control mismanaged blood sugar levels. Thankfully, several of these natural aids are available easily. 


If you go looking, there are several natural, ayurvedic supplements that can help you in times of trouble and one of the best ones amongst them is Indian blueberries. Known as black plums or Jamun locally, the fruit has been termed to be nutrient-rich and full of phytochemicals. While the usage of the same is a must for every healthy eater, today, we tell you another benefit which is super helpful for those suffering from diabetes. It's not just the fruit but even the seeds present inside it can be an effective home remedy for blood sugar management. We tell why you shouldn't be just throwing the seeds away!

Here's why


According to Ayurveda, Jamun seeds contain a helpful substance known as jamboline and jambosine, both of which are extremely potent in nature and have healing medicinal properties. Both the phytochemicals help slow down the release of blood sugar and raise the production of insulin in the body, which often gets compromised when the body is battling diabetes.

Apart from this, the seeds also contain a good portion of dietary fiber in them which works to regularize the digestive system and at the same time, detoxify the body of the negative radicals. This works in improving the functioning of the immune system as well and effectively counter the other side effects which come along with a diabetes diagnosis. Studies have also found that Jamun seeds contain alkaloids, chemicals that prevent the conversion of starch into sugar and keep diabetes in check.

For the best benefits, try including Jamun seeds in your everyday diet. You can add it to your daily dishes or simply powder it, add to warm milk or water and consume regularly before meals to manage blood sugar levels and fight hyperglycemia. It can act as one of the many fruits which can help you manage your condition.

Compound in Jamun seeds can remove fluoride from groundwater

Jamun trees are found in abundance in Asia and the fruit carries numerous health benefits too.

Now, researchers say that a compound found in Jamun seeds can help remove excess fluoride from groundwater.

A team of researchers  has succeeded in reducing fluoride level in water using `activated carbon' obtained from Jamun seeds.

Excess fluoride in groundwater is a major problem in several states as it causes health problems.
The findings of the team were published recently.

The researchers converted Jamun seed powder into a highly porous carbon material. It was then processed further at high temperatures to improve its efficiency.

The material was first used in trials carried out on synthetic fluoride solutions prepared in laboratory, he said in a release here.

Later, tests were conducted using groundwater samples collected from a district , known to be one of the worst fluoride-affected areas.

Results showed that it reduced the fluoride concentration to less than 1.5 mg/litre, the acceptable limit as per the World Health Organisation.

Many parts of the world face the problem of higher-than-recommended fluoride levels in groundwater, he said, adding that it creates a major problem for safe drinking water supply.

"Although there is a long way to go before successful commercialisation of this idea, the Team has demonstrated a potential for a bio-based waste material like Jamun seed for fluoride removal from drinking water," he said.

"The performance of Jamun Seed Derived Carbon was found to be superior to most other biomass-derived carbons which were reported earlier (in research papers)," he said.

The lead author of the study, said the team is now working on finding ways to remove various water pollutants using the Jamun Seed-Derived Carbon.
