It’s almost that time of the year when nothing feels better than a
hot corn with melting butter and some salt on top! Except for the magnificent taste, though, sweet corn might be pretty good for our health. Any ideas?
Let’s see at least
6 health benefits of eating that veggie:
- Contains vitamins
In fact, that’s not a big surprise as all vegetables are a
vitamin bomb in some way. However, corn takes the lead when it comes to
B vitamins (thiamine and niacin, to be specific!) They are important for the stimulation of brain activity and the nervous system.
- Full of minerals
Where there are vitamins, there are minerals are well! Corn is thought to be very rich in magnesium, manganese, zinc, copper, iron and selenium, which is vital for the thyroid gland! So, are you ready for Number 3?
- Protects the cardiovascular system
There are a lot of things we can eat so we can protect our heart from getting ill, right?
So, who said healthy food isn’t tasty?! According some researches corn contains substances that are important for lowering the cholesterol levels.
- Prevents from diabetes
People believe that corn has the ability to control our blood sugar and insulin levels. That’s great for the fight against diabetes! If you’re already familiar with this problem, corn might be here to help.
- Affects hemorrhoids
Having in mind the pace of life today, we tend to underestimate some health conditions or even hide their existence.
Piles are such a case, but the truth is they are very common. Luckily, corn may provide your body with
enough fibers, which can reduce the risk of hemorrhoid formation.
Hurray!
- Promotes beauty
Did you know
corn starch is often used in some beauty products? Yes, that’s right! It has the property to soothe irritated skin, eliminate rash, clean out the unnecessary sebum and many more!
Without more talk, go heat up the grill or boil some water and place those corns where they belong!
