Taking the dietary fiber in corn kernels as an example, the dietary fiber content of 100g corn kernels is as high as 1.7g, which is 2.8 times that of ordinary white rice. Dietary fiber has the characteristics of promoting gastrointestinal peristalsis and accelerating defecation, which is helpful to prevent constipation and colorectal cancer, reduce cholesterol and prevent arteriosclerosis.
Carotenoids contained in corn (the content is 2. 1 times that of ordinary brown rice) can be converted into vitamin A after being absorbed by human body, which has the functions of protecting eyes, maintaining epithelial tissue integrity and preventing cancer. The unique nutrients in corn, such as lutein and zeaxanthin, also have a very important protective effect on the eye health of the elderly.
