1.Nutritional Value


Very high vitamin content: The vitamin content in corn is very high, 5-10 times that of rice and wheat, and the nutritional value of special corn is higher than that of ordinary corn.

Rich in plant cellulose: The abundant plant cellulose contained in corn has the characteristics of stimulating gastrointestinal peristalsis and accelerating faecal excretion, which can prevent constipation, enteritis, and bowel cancer. It can restrain and hinder the absorption of excess glucose and inhibit the increase in blood sugar after meals; cellulose can also inhibit fat absorption, lower blood lipid levels, and prevent and improve the occurrence of coronary heart disease, obesity, and gallstones.

Rich in selenium and magnesium: The selenium and magnesium contained in corn have anti-cancer and anti-cancer effects. Selenium can accelerate the decomposition of peroxides in the body so that malignant tumours cannot be supplied with molecular oxygen and are inhibited. On the one hand, magnesium can inhibit the development of cancer cells, and on the other hand, it can promote the excretion of waste from the body, which is also of great significance for cancer prevention.

Containing glutathione: Corn also contains a longevity factor-glutathione, which generates glutathione oxidase with the participation of selenium, which has the function of restoring youth and delaying ageing.

Containing zeaxanthin: The zeaxanthin contained in corn can prevent the occurrence of age-related macular disease.

Rich in carotene and niacin: the carotene contained in corn can be converted into vitamin A after being absorbed by the human body; corn also contains niacin, which is much higher in content than rice. Niacin plays an important role in the metabolism of protein, fat, and sugar, and can help us maintain the normal functions of the nervous system, digestive system and skin. If the human body lacks niacin, it may cause mental hallucinations, auditory hallucinations, mental confusion and other symptoms, digestive angular cheilitis, glossitis, diarrhoea and other symptoms, and skin diseases.

Rich in linoleic acid: corn is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, especially the content of linoleic acid is as high as 60% or more. Linoleic acid can reduce cholesterol and prevent it from depositing on the inner wall of blood vessels, thereby reducing arteriosclerosis. Occurred, it has a positive effect on preventing hypertension and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

 


2.Edible effect


Weight loss: After eating, it can eliminate the hunger of obese people, but the calorie content after eating is very low, and it is also one of the substitutes for weight loss.

Anti-cancer and anti-cancer: Plant cellulose can accelerate the discharge of carcinogens and other toxicants. Eating more corn can also inhibit the side effects of anti-cancer drugs on the human body.

Lowering blood pressure and lowering blood lipids: Abundant calcium can lower blood pressure, promote cell division, lower serum cholesterol, and prevent it from being deposited on blood vessel walls. Therefore, corn is effective for coronary heart disease, atherosclerosis, and hyperlipidemia. Diseases and hypertension have certain preventive and therapeutic effects.

Increase memory and anti-ageing: Stimulate brain cells, enhance human brainpower, memory and human metabolism, and adjust nervous system functions. It can make the skin soft and smooth, inhibit and delay the generation of wrinkles, and can fight against eye ageing.

Improving eyesight: People who use their eyes frequently should eat more yellow corn to relieve macular degeneration and decreased vision. Lutein and zeaxanthin can absorb harmful light entering the eyeball with their powerful antioxidant effects.

Promote gastrointestinal motility: It can prevent constipation, enteritis, and bowel cancer.
