Corn has anti-cancer and anti-aging effects

　　Can prevent heart disease and cancer

　　Recently, a study by the German Nutrition and Health Association showed that among all staple foods, corn has the highest nutritional value and health care effects. In this one-year study, experts compared various indicators of nutritional value and health care effects of corn, rice, wheat and other staple foods. It was found that the vitamin content in corn is very high, 5-10 times that of rice and wheat.

　　At the same time, experts were surprised by the large amount of nutritional and health-care substances contained in corn. In addition to carbohydrates, proteins, fats, and carotene, corn also contains riboflavin, vitamins and other nutrients. These substances can prevent heart disease, cancer, etc. disease There are great benefits.

　　Research also shows that the nutritional value of specialty corn is higher than that of ordinary corn. For example, the protein, vegetable oil and vitamin content of sweet corn is 1-2 times higher than that of ordinary corn; the content of "life element" selenium is 8-10 times higher; among the 17 kinds of amino acids it contains, 13 are higher than ordinary corn. In addition, the moisture, active substances, vitamins and other nutrients of fresh corn are also much higher than that of mature corn, because the nutrient content of corn will decrease rapidly during storage.

　　Contains 7 kinds of "anti-aging agents"”

　　Corn contains seven kinds of anti-aging agents: minerals calcium, magnesium, selenium, vitamins A, E, glutathione and unsaturated fatty acids. Among them, glutathione and selenium have strong antioxidant effects and are called biologically active longevity factors. The survey found that people who regularly eat corn not only have a lower chance of developing hypertension and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, but also have a significantly lower risk of cancer than those who do not eat corn. This is at least because corn contains more selenium and magnesium, which have anti-cancer and anti-cancer effects.

　　It has been determined that every 100 grams of corn can provide nearly 300 mg of calcium, which is almost the same as the calcium contained in dairy products. Rich in calcium, it can lower blood pressure. If you take in 1 gram of calcium every day, your blood pressure can be reduced by 9% after 6 weeks. In addition, the carotene contained in corn can be converted into vitamin A after being absorbed by the body, which has anti-cancer effects; plant cellulose can accelerate the excretion of carcinogens and other poisons; natural vitamin E can promote cell division, delay aging, lower serum cholesterol, and prevent skin disease It can also reduce arteriosclerosis and brain function decline. Researchers pointed out that the lutein and zeaxanthin contained in corn can fight against Eye aging. In addition, eating more corn can also inhibit the side effects of anti-cancer drugs on the human body, stimulate brain cells, and enhance people's brain power and memory.
