Health-preserving effects of eating corn

Efficacy: Corn is a very common food in our life. After eating it, it has the functions of benefiting the lungs, calming the heart, invigorating the spleen, stimulating appetite, promoting diuresis and stranguria, promoting brain development, lowering blood fat and lowering blood pressure, promoting vascular patency, preventing cardiovascular diseases, and making skin cells elastic and shiny.

But everything should be measured. Although corn has so many functions, it is by no means the more you eat, the better. There are some corn that we can't eat.

The first kind of corn barbecued on the roadside:

There are many corn barbecued on the roadside at present. In this case, the corn itself will not cause harm to us, but merchants often add some additives to the corn for the sake of taste and color. This additive is harmful to the human body and will affect our brain and liver. In addition, these may also produce carcinogens, so be sure to choose carefully.

The second kind and corn stored for a long time:

After corn is stored for a long time, it will produce a kind of aflatoxin, which can not be absorbed by the intestines after being taken by the human body, thus causing some gastrointestinal diseases, poisoning and vomiting, and also producing carcinogens. So I suggest you pay attention to the shelf life of corn when you buy it.

The third kind of uncooked corn can't be eaten raw

Although many people like to eat raw corn, in fact, it is not recommended for you to eat raw corn, because there are still many bugs and bacteria on the surface of corn, which are very unfavorable to our health after eating.

Some people had better not eat corn:

1. The elderly and children: Because the digestive function of the elderly is declining and the digestive function of the children is not perfect, corn contains a lot of dietary fiber, which is a great burden to the gastrointestinal tract. Moreover, the absorption and utilization rate of nutrients are relatively low, which is not conducive to the growth and development of children.

2. People with high blood sugar: You can't eat too much at one time. The content of cellulose and vitamins in corn is very high. For people with symptoms such as high blood sugar, you can eat some in peacetime, which can not only supplement nutrients and promote digestion, but also help relieve your own symptoms, which is conducive to reducing the amount of cholesterol and blood sugar in serum. But be careful not to eat too much at once.

3. People with low immunity: It is not advisable to eat too much

The human body should not consume more than 5g of cellulose every day, and the cellulose content of corn is very high. Excessive consumption of corn will hinder people's protein supplement, reduce the fat utilization rate, and also damage the functions of organs such as heart, blood and bones, and naturally the human immunity will be greatly reduced.
