The main effects of corn cob

Many people like to eat corn, which can be made into many kinds of dishes. It tastes soft and sticky, and some corns are very juicy. If you eat this kind of grains regularly, it will definitely be beneficial to your body. However, few people know that corn cobs have therapeutic effects. In fact, corn cobs have obvious anti-cancer effects when taken as Chinese medicine, which prevents many toxic substances from accumulating and maintains a healthy state.

The nutritional components of corn are relatively comprehensive, generally containing 8.5% protein, 4.3% fat, 73.2% carbohydrates, 0.022% calcium, 0.21% phosphorus, 0.0016% iron, as well as carotene, vitamins B1, B2 and niacin, as well as sitosterol, lecithin, vitamin E, lysine, etc. The latest research points out that corn contains a cancer-fighting factor - glutathione. Nutritionists at home and abroad speak highly of corn, believing that: the glutathione contained in corn has an anti-cancer effect, which can combine with a variety of carcinogens in the human body to make these substances lose their carcinogenicity; the cellulose contained in corn is a carbohydrate that cannot be absorbed by the human body. It can reduce the concentration of carcinogens in the human intestine and reduce the accumulation of toxin-secreting humus in the intestine, thereby reducing the incidence of colon cancer and rectal cancer; the lignin contained in corn can increase the activity of "macrophages" in the human body by 2 to 3 times, thereby inhibiting the occurrence of tumors; corn also contains a large amount of the mineral magnesium, and magnesium in food has obvious anti-cancer effects. Japanese geneticists have confirmed that corn bran can reduce the carcinogenic effects of dinitroquinone and heterocyclic amines formed when frying or grilling fish and meat by 92%.

Corn silk contains sugars, malic acid, citric acid, vitamin K, inorganic salts (especially potassium salts), etc. Drinking corn silk boiled in water can help eliminate chlorides in the body and increase urine volume. Its diuretic effect is extra-renal. And can inhibit the excretion of protein.

Corn silk can help lower blood pressure

Bile can help in the metabolism of fat and cholesterol. If there is insufficient bile, some fat and cholesterol will not be completely broken down and enter the liver and then our blood. The accumulation of cholesterol and fat in the blood can easily cause high blood pressure, stroke, cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral thrombosis, heart disease, etc. Corn silk can help bile secretion, promote bile excretion, reduce the organic matter and impurities in bile, and reduce the viscosity, specific gravity and bilirubin content. It can prevent diseases such as hypertension and is a powerful tool for the daily health of middle-aged and elderly people.
