With the arrival of summer, fresh corn is on the market in large quantities. Those plump corn kernels are golden and golden, and when you bite into it, the juice overflows, and the fragrance is sweet and delicious, and it is really endless. Although corn is delicious and nutritious, there are three things that people should try to limit their consumption.
As a common crop, corn is very nutritious. It is rich in dietary fiber, which can promote intestinal peristalsis and digestion, and also contains a variety of vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin A, vitamin E, calcium, iron, etc., which are very beneficial for good health. Fresh corn, in particular, retains the original flavor of these nutrients and becomes a dish on the summer table.
However, just as there is no perfect food in the world, corn is not something that everyone can enjoy to their heart's content.
The season of fresh corn is here again, and there are three kinds of people who need to eat as little as possible, even if they like it very much.
The first type of people, diabetics. Although corn itself is not high in sugar, its starch is converted into glucose in the body, resulting in an increase in blood sugar. Therefore, if diabetic patients eat a lot of corn, it may cause excessive fluctuations in blood sugar, which is not conducive to disease control.
According to the data of the Diabetes Federation at home and abroad, there are more than 450 million diabetic patients in the world, of which China ranks first in the world in the number of diabetic patients. For some people, it's important to keep your blood sugar stable. Therefore, Allison advises diabetics to minimize their corn intake.
The second, people with indigestion. Although the dietary fiber in corn helps promote intestinal peristalsis, for people with weak digestive function, too much dietary fiber may increase the burden on the stomach and intestines, leading to bloating, diarrhea and other uncomfortable symptoms. In particular, those who have gastrointestinal diseases, such as gastritis and gastric ulcers, should pay more attention to reducing corn intake. About 10% of the world's population suffers from indigestion to varying degrees. Therefore, it is more appropriate for this group of people to choose foods that are easy to digest and have a low burden.
The third type, people who are losing weight. While corn is a low-calorie, high-fiber food that helps with weight loss, its starch content should not be overlooked. If you eat a lot of corn, it may lead to excessive calorie intake, which can affect the weight loss effect. In addition, some people choose corn as a staple food in place of other high-calorie foods during weight loss. But if you don't pay attention to controlling the total amount, it will lead to weight loss failure. Therefore, Jiajia recommends that people who are losing weight consume corn in moderation and pay attention to other foods to ensure balanced nutrition.
In addition to the above three types of people, can other people eat corn with confidence and boldness? This is not the case. No food should be consumed in excess, including corn. While it's delicious and nutritious, excessive or excessive consumption can also lead to overnutrition or other health problems. Therefore, while enjoying the food, we should also pay attention to the principle of eating in moderation and balance.
Finally, we remind everyone to pay attention to safety and hygiene when buying and using corn, and choose fresh and mildew-free products. Cook or steam thoroughly during cooking, and wash hands and the surface of the corn carefully before use to ensure we are eating healthy and with confidence.
