What happens to your body when you eat corn?

Phương Linh (Theo Eatthis.com) |

Corn brings many benefits but will also have "side effects" on our bodies, according to Eat This Not That.

Reduces appetite

One of the corn-based snacks that many people prefer is corn burning.

There are many misconceptions that burning corn will cause weight gain because it has a fatty taste, but in fact this is a snack rich in fiber and has the ability to burn excess fat effectively. Broken corn will also keep you full longer and control your appetite better. Therefore, this will be a suitable choice for those who are looking to lose weight.

More energy

Corn is rich in vitamin B6 and vitamin B9 - two main vitamins that play a role in energy metabolism. Vitamin B helps the body break down starch into sugar. This is very useful, helping the body always have enough energy.

Increased blood sugar

Although corn contains many nutrients, this snack also has a fairly high glycemic index (GI = 69). Therefore, corn can cause a sudden increase in blood sugar after eating. The main macronutrient in corn is a type of carbohydrate that is broken down from starch into sugar in the body.

Therefore, if you have been diagnosed with diabetes or have a history of blood sugar, you should consider eating corn regularly.

Difficulty digesting

Although it is a high-fiber snack, corn can also cause some signs of intolerance of this snack.

Key signs include bloating, and diarrhea. Some rashes, itching, or inflammation may appear. Therefore, to digest corn burned better, you should eat it more moderately.
