Let's eat corn in summer~!!

In the summer, we can see corn easily at the market.

However, sometime I hesitate to buy corn because I think that corn is not good for my health.

Here is news about corn. It is saying how much healthy it is.

1.     It’s not good for our health ?

 The belief that corn in unhealthy comes from the idea that it has many carbs. It’s true that corn has many carbohydrates but it’s a myth that it is unhealthy because corn can contribute to your daily servings of vegetables.

 

   2.     It’s difficult to digest ?

Corn has a lot of insoluble fiber but that’s a good thing because it helps us have regular bowel movements. That insoluble fiber also feeds the “good bacteria” in our body.

 

3.     It has no nutrition ? 

Corn has a lot of nutrition but it is overshadowed by “super healthy vegetables” like spinach. Corn has vitamin B, Vitamin A, magnesium and potassium. It also contains “zeaxanthin and lutein, which are good for eye health.”

   4.     It’s high in sugar ?

Many believe that corn has a lot of sugar because it is so sweet. But compared with one of the sweetest fruits, bananas, a cob of corn has only “6 to 8 grams of sugar while a banana has about 15”
