2. What are the benefits of eating corn porridge?

Corn is rich in nutrients, containing a large amount of dietary fiber, vitamins, minerals, etc. Among them, niacin is very beneficial to health and can help us maintain the normal functions of the nervous system, digestive system and skin. If the human body lacks niacin, digestive symptoms such as angular cheilitis, glossitis, diarrhea, and skin pellagra are likely to occur. It is said that corn is abundant in South America, and people there use corn as their staple food, so people there rarely suffer from skin diseases.

The niacin in corn is not easy to release. Adding some baking soda (alkaline) when cooking porridge can release most of the niacin, and the porridge tastes good. Baking soda can also prevent the loss of vitamin B1 and vitamin B2 in corn.

If the human body lacks niacin, it may cause mental hallucinations, auditory hallucinations, mental confusion and other symptoms. If you can drink corn porridge for breakfast and absorb a certain amount of niacin, you will be in good spirits all day long. Therefore, it is recommended to drink corn porridge in the morning.
