corn is not high. If you exclude the type, the average calorie of 100g corn is only 106 kcal, which is not a high-calorie food in food. Let’s compare it with high-calorie foods, such as walnuts. And other nuts, 100g can contain up to 300~400 calories, 100g of fat and lean pork can provide 390~400 calories, and a burger also has about 600 calories. So, relatively speaking, the calories of corn are higher than Fruits and vegetables are high, but fairly suitable.
However, many friends estimate that it is because they gained weight after eating corn. They think that corn has higher calories, and corn has bloating and stomach bloating. It seems that they have taken in a lot of calories at once, but this is not the case. It is true that not eating too much corn will make people feel fuller, because the dietary fiber in corn is more abundant, and dietary fiber is a component that cannot be directly digested and absorbed. It will eventually follow the food residue. Are excreted together. Dietary fiber is difficult to digest and can delay the emptying rate of the stomach, so the stomach is easy to feel full, and the feeling of fullness is strong. This is not because of the high calorie of corn.
In addition, although corn has suitable calories, the content of carbohydrates (sugars) in corn is not low . 100g corn can provide about 20g carbohydrates, which can be compared with rice. It is precisely because corn is rich in carbohydrates and dietary Fiber retains more. In many cases, we will use corn instead of staple food as a staple food, but if excessive intake, excessive intake of sugar may also cause obesity.
The intake of sugar is high, and when the cells cannot be fully utilized, it will be temporarily converted into glycogen for storage. Glycogen can be converted into glucose again to raise blood sugar when our blood sugar concentration is low, but if our blood sugar has been Glycogen is useless if it is maintained at a higher concentration, and it will eventually be converted into triglycerides in the liver, and finally into our meat.
In short, corn is not recommended to eat too much, a better way may be to replace the staple food, a larger corn half root is enough; if a lot of corn is added to the dishes, then we can appropriately reduce the intake of the staple food , Control excessive sugar intake, especially for patients with high blood sugar and diabetes, should pay more attention, friends who lose weight should also pay more attention to sugar intake.
In addition, in addition to paying attention to the intake of corn, the way of eating is also very important. is suitable for corn eating methods such as dry roasting, steaming, boiling, stewing, including stir-frying are all good choices, but corn is not suitable for frying (such as Corn bake), grilled, and made into other processed snacks, such as popcorn. In addition, more cream, sucrose, salt and other ingredients may be added to the popcorn, which makes the calories of corn become higher and the fat content increases sharply. Corn is more likely to gain weight.
Friends who are losing weight or those with diabetes or high blood sugar can choose to eat regular corn and old corn, avoiding waxy corn and fruit corn with higher sugar content (the calories of waxy corn are also higher, 100g can provide about 144 calories). It is a good choice to eat corn appropriately every day. Corn is rich in many minerals, especially potassium, which is very suitable for patients with high blood pressure. Potassium can promote the metabolism of sodium ions and help excrete excess in the body. Sodium ions maintain the balance of extravascular osmotic pressure and avoid the occurrence of high blood pressure; corn also contains certain vitamin C, vitamin A and other ingredients, which are very beneficial to the human body.
