EDITOR’S PICK:
Corn (Maize) is a popular food in this part of the world, we all love the awesome taste we get from it after roasting or boiling. It offers a variety of health benefits, but can also be detrimental to some people with severe health conditions.
1. Diabetes
Sugar levels in the blood may rise quickly while eating corn because of the high carbohydrate content, this is why diabetic patients must avoid it.
Following dietary rules and keeping note of what you eat can go a long way in helping those with diabetes manage their condition.
2. Indigestion
If consumed in excess, the high fibre content of maize can cause digestive troubles such as indigestion and stomach upsets.
