I love corn. And so does Rameen. She always wants it whenever the thought trickles inside her brain. Corns are irresistible when u have them close. I was just eating the last of the frozen packet contents that had been a long part of our deep freezer history. So soft, juicy and milky. Even put them in my maggy noodles yesterday and literally, I was looking more to finding corns in my mouth than those darn noodles! Thats what prompted me to do a more researched post on these tiny yellow studs rich in fiber! Here are the health benefits:
Health benefits of corn include controlling diabetes, prevention of heart ailments, lowering hypertension and prevention of neural-tube defects at birth. It not only provides the necessary calories for daily metabolism, but is a rich source of vitamins A, B, E and many minerals. Its high fibre content ensures that it plays a role in prevention of digestive ailments like constipation and haemorrhoids as well as colorectal cancer. The antioxidants present in corn also act as anti-cancer agents and prevent Alzheimer’s.
Speaking of Fibre rich foods, here's more into it.
Fruits: Apples with skin, Apricots, Bananas, Dried Figs, Oranges, Peaches, Pear, Plum, Raisins, Strawberries
Among other things, Almonds, black beans, lentils, BRAN CEREALS (how can anyone forget that most important thing!! BRAN CEREAL)
