Here's why eating sweet corn regularly comes with a number of health benefits. Let's know -
1.Controls blood-sugar levels: Corn is high in starch, which makes it a complex carbohydrate that provides high energy, unlike refined carbohydrates (which zap us of energy and are not too filling either). Sweet corn is high in starch and fibre, which is beneficial for controlling blood-sugar levels, because the fibre content in corn slows down the rate at which gluco
se is released into the bloodstream.
2.Prevents cancer and ageing: Corn is a good source of phenolic flavonoid antioxidants and ferulic acid. Ferulic acid plays a critical role in preventing cancers, apart from delaying the process of ageing and preventing inflammation.
3.Gluten-free cereal: Sweet corn is a gluten-free cereal and may be consumed by individuals suffering from celiac disease, just like rice and quinoa.
4.Keeps a check on your eye health: Corn is loaded with antioxidants--most carotenoids like zeaxanthin and lutein. The high levels of carotenoids in the blood are linked with reduced risk of both macular degeneration and cataracts.
