This fruit is rich in antioxidants and Vitamin C.
Consuming excessive amounts of sugary fruits like Jamun could potentially contribute to acne.
With the onset of the monsoon season, many people are eagerly waiting to savour some Jamun fruit. Considered the best delight of the rainy season by many, Jamun is the stock house of nutrients and children’s favourite fruit as well. There are a few things that need to be kept in mind while eating this fruit. One of them is not drinking water after consuming it. In an interview with a portal, Dr Makarand Kumar (BAMS, Government Ayurvedic College, Begusarai, 24 years of experience) talked more about it. As per the doctor, drinking water or milk immediately after eating Jamun fruit can lead to many stomach ailments. According to reports, this can cause problems such as diarrhoea and indigestion. It is advisable to consume water after 30 to 40 minutes of eating Jamun.
Dr Makarand has also advised people to not eat the Jamun fruit in excessive quantities, as it can also lead to stomach problems like gas and bloating. These problems can also occur in people who have a sensitive digestive system. As per the medical professional, this fruit is rich in antioxidants and Vitamin C which is beneficial for the skin. It can have adverse effects on the face as well like skin, pimples and wrinkles. As per reports, there is no direct evidence pointing out that Jamun leads to acne. Each person’s reactions to foods vary. Consuming excessive amounts of sugary fruits like Jamun could potentially contribute to acne in those who are prone to breakouts.
Dr Makarand has a word of caution for patients with lower blood sugar levels regarding eating this fruit. As per the doctor, this fruit lowers the blood sugar levels. Medical professionals have thus cautioned the people, who are already suffering from low blood sugar levels to not eat this fruit. It is because black plum, as Jamun is called, can have adverse effects on their bodies.
Keeping these certain pointers in mind, there is no harm in eating Jamun. With a high Vitamin C content, Jamun can provide the immune system with a significant boost.
