Health care function of edible corn
Efficacy: Corn is a very common food in our life. After eating, it has the functions of benefiting lung, calming heart, invigorating spleen, stimulating appetite, promoting diuresis and stranguria, promoting brain development, lowering blood lipid and blood pressure, promoting vascular patency, preventing cardiovascular diseases, making skin cells elastic and shiny, and preventing skin lesions.
But everything must be measured. Although corn has so many functions, the more you eat, the better. There is still some corn that we can't eat.
The first roadside barbecue corn:
There are a lot of barbecued corn on the roadside at present. In this case, the corn itself will not harm us, but merchants often add some additives to the corn for taste and color. This additive is harmful to human body, which will affect our brain and liver. In addition, these may also produce carcinogens, so we must choose them carefully.
The second kind and corn that has been stored for a long time:
When corn is stored for a long time, it will produce a kind of aflatoxin, which can not be absorbed by the intestine after being ingested 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 when buying corn.
The third kind of raw corn cannot be eaten raw.
Although many people like to eat corn raw, it is not recommended that you eat it raw, because there are many insects on the surface of corn that you can't see, and some bacteria already exist, which is very harmful to our health after eating it.
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 children is not perfect, corn contains a lot of dietary fiber, which is a great burden on the gastrointestinal tract. Moreover, the absorption and utilization rate of nutrients is 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 a time. Corn is high in cellulose and vitamins. For people with symptoms such as hyperglycemia, you can eat some properly at ordinary times, which can not only supplement nutrition, promote digestion, but also help relieve your own symptoms and reduce the amount of cholesterol and blood sugar in the serum. But be careful not to eat too much at once.
3, people with low immunity: it is not appropriate to eat too much.
The human body's daily intake of cellulose should not exceed 50g, and the cellulose content of corn is very high. Excessive consumption of corn will hinder people's protein supplement, reduce the utilization rate of fat, and also damage the functions of organs such as heart, blood and bones, and the human immunity will naturally be greatly reduced.
