The well-known Russian nutritionist Andrey Bobrovsky said that corn can become a product that causes weight gain. That is why you should strictly monitor how much of it is contained in the diet.
Many Russians, especially in the summer, love to eat boiled corn. In principle, this is a useful product, since it contains a lot of antioxidants, minerals and vitamins. Another undoubted advantage of corn is its high fiber content, and many modern diseases are provoked by a lack of dietary fiber in the diet. With a fiber deficiency in the diet, as Andrey Bobrovsky notes in an interview with Sputnik radio, the risk of pathologies of the heart, blood vessels, stomach, intestines and nerves increases.
You can get fat in three hours
But this does not mean that corn should be consumed daily. The fact is that this is a high-calorie product that is not suitable for a daily diet. It can, if desired, be eaten two or three times a week, and no more than 200 g at a time. This approximately corresponds to the weight of one cob and is quite enough for the body to receive the daily norm of fiber.
Foods from which it is impossible to get fat are listed
If you are overly fond of eating corn, you may encounter not only weight gain, but also some characteristic gastrointestinal disorders, including flatulence, indigestion and feeling of heaviness. In addition, fodder varieties of corn are often on sale now, which are harvested earlier, without waiting for their maturity. It is better not to eat such cobs. (READ MORE)
