JACKFRUIT FOR HEALTH?

Only our body can support and regain health - strictly in a natural way. With medicinal herbs in the forefront.  Although very many of these medicinal herbs were known already to our ancestors for thousands of years – scientifically validated today – many of them look ‘exotic’ to most of us. Just like jackfruit.  In this blog you learn about the health benefits of jackfruit covering most dramatic diseases in our industrialized society. With scientific validations each. Just read on to learn more about.

THE PHILOSOPHY BEHIND

As you have learned from my previous blogs and beyond, to support and regain health cannot be materialized with synthetic drugs and modalities. Instead, only our body can achieve this goal strictly in a natural way.
 
Provided, we furnish our body with those nutrients appropriate. Which are those? In fact, for this nature offers us an unlimited portfolio, with special reference to medicinal herbs. Although very many of these medicinal herbs were known already to our ancestors for thousands of years – and still are scientifically validated today – many of them look ‘exotic’ to most of us. Just like jackfruit.
 
Native to southwest India, jackfruit is the fruit of a tropical tree belonging to the Moraceae plant family, with high content of life and health supporting nutrients such as, inter alia,
 

• Vitamin C
• Potassium
• Magnesium
• Dietary fiber

 
and many others.
 
Accordingly, jackfruit has many health benefits we may not want to miss. With special reference to problematic diseases of our civilization.       
               

JACKFRUIT'S  HEALTH BENEFITS – SCIENTIFICALLY VALIDATED

Since phytochemicals such as saponins, tannins and flavonoids, are abundant in jackfruit, and these natural substances help to fight oxidative stress which plays a major role also in terms of

Cancer

this is certainly a most important benefit. Also, these phytochemicals may stop new blood vessels growing around cancer cells. This lack of new blood cells reduces cancer cells’ blood supply and their growth. In this respect, this combination of saponins, tannins and flavonoids may serve as an anticancer therapy.
 
Based on research at, inter alia, Mathla’ul Anwar University in Banten, and  Universitas Gadjah Mada in Yogyakarta – both Indonesia.
 
Another benefit of jackfruit is helpful to balance

Blood Pressure

due to its high content of 739 mg potassium in one cup of sliced raw jackfruit, by counteracting the effects of sodium and relieving tension in the walls of blood vessels.  
 
Based on scientific validation of the American Heart Association which recommends daily dosage of 4,700 mg of potassium.

Diabetes

control with jackfruit is another valuable benefit especially in our ‘modern’ times.
 
Based on research at, inter alia, Afe Babalola University in Ado-Ekiti, Nigeria, and the National Organization of Drug Control and Research in Cairo, Egypt.
 
With special reference to jackfruit leaf extract due to its inherent phytochemical flavonoids, thus avoiding cell death of the insulin producing pancreas.   

Cholesterol

management comes next, as jackfruit seeds can lower ‘bad’ LDL cholesterol and increase the ‘good’ HDL cholesterol at the same time.
 
This is especially important as LDL cholesterol can clog arteries, thus restricting blood flow with the potential consequences not only of high blood pressure but of heart attack and stroke.
 
Based on research at, inter alia, the University of Port Harcourt in Harcourt, Nigeria.
 
With special reference to jackfruit’s high content of dietary fiber – both: soluble and insoluble fiber – it is a valuable source of

Digestive Health

as it reduces the risk of diabetes, heart disease, and even colon cancer.
According to research at, inter alia, the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign in Urbana, IL.
 
Not to forget about jackfruit’s positive role in

Wound Healing

Because of its high content of Vitamin C, supporting not only our immune system which is important for wound healing in itself, it also produces the protein collagen in the body. Important, inter alia, not only for strong connective tissues such as cartilage and blood vessels, as well as healthy bones and skin – collagen is also important for wound healing.
 
Also, certain substances in jackfruit have not only anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antifungal properties, jackfruit leaf extract is supporting wound healing as well.   
 
Based on research at, inter alia, at National College of Pharmacy in Kozhikode, and Madurai Medical College in Madurai – both India.
