The benefits of cornmeal porridge

Corn is a treasure from head to toe, and has high value in dietary therapy and health preservation

Corn protects the cardiovascular system. Chinese medicine believes that corn can strengthen the spleen and eliminate dampness, regulate the stomach, and promote diuresis, making it very suitable for people with spleen deficiency. Modern nutrition also believes that corn contains a large amount of nutrients. The cellulose content in fresh corn is 6-8 times that of refined rice and refined flour, which can reduce the concentration of cholesterol in the blood and thus prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. At the same time, you need to chew corn hard when eating it, which can play a good exercise role for teeth and facial muscles, and can also promote saliva secretion, which is conducive to the digestion of food.

Corn water prevents infection. People often pour out corn water when eating delicious corn, which is a pity. Corn water not only has the aroma of corn, but also has good health value. It has the effects of diuresis and anti-inflammatory, preventing urinary tract infection, and removing liver fire. Summer is the high-incidence season of urinary tract infection. Therefore, when cooking corn, it is best to leave some corn silk and two layers of green skin, which will taste better and have better medicinal effects. You can add a little white sugar or crystal sugar when drinking.

Corn silk can lower blood sugar. In addition to corn, corn silk and corn stalks have good health benefits. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that corn silk has good diuretic, blood pressure, blood sugar and stomach effects. Diabetic patients can use 60 grams of corn silk, 15 grams each of raw rehmannia, pollen, yam and polygonatum, and decoct in water. Corn stalks have a good antiperspirant effect. For those who sweat spontaneously or sweat at night, take 2-3 corn stalks, add 50-100 grams of wheat, and decoct in water.
