Yoga guru Baba Ramdev recently shared a health tip video on social media that is catching a lot of attention, where he talks about the many benefits of jamun, also known as black plum or Indian blackberry.
According to Ramdev, jamun is especially helpful for people who have diabetes. He says that no matter how much jamun you eat, it won’t increase your blood sugar levels.

In fact, it can help control them. “Jitna bhi kha lo, sugar nahin badhegi,” he says in the video. This is great news for people who love fruits but have to stay careful because of diabetes.
Jamun is also very good for digestion, Ramdev adds. It is an easy fruit to digest and does not cause any stomach problems. In Indian households, many people have always believed that jamun helps clean the stomach and improves digestion.
Now, Ramdev is reminding people about this simple but powerful fruit.
Not just the fruit, but even the jamun seed is useful. Ramdev suggests making a powder from jamun seeds. To prepare it, first dry the seeds, then grind them into a fine powder. Once the powder is ready, you can add a pinch of salt and eat it. According to him, this home remedy is very helpful for diabetes control.
Jamun has long been a part of Indian natural medicine. In Ayurveda, jamun is known for balancing sugar levels, improving digestion, and cooling the body. It is also said to help with other health issues like mouth ulcers and problems related to the liver.
Many people in India enjoy eating fresh jamun during the summer months. It has a sweet and slightly sour taste. Some people sprinkle a little salt or chaat masala on top to make it tastier. Apart from being a fun summer snack, it turns out jamun can also play a big role in health care, especially for people dealing with diabetes.
However, it is important to remember that while jamun is good for health, people with diabetes should still check their sugar levels regularly and consult with their doctors. Eating jamun can support health, but it should be part of a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.
