Corn and Minerals
Corn (one 154g serving) contain more minerals per gram than most foods we eat, even the healthy ones.
It is a rich source of minerals like magnesium, copper, calcium, sodium, potassium, iron, manganese, and phosphorus. Potassium is an important component of cell and body fluids that helps controlling heart rate and blood pressure by countering effects of sodium.
Corn contains iron. Iron improves blood health by preventing and treating anemia. Iron is a vital part of hemoglobin, the substance found in red blood cells that brings oxygen from your lungs to your body tissues.
Corn is a food that has calcium, magnesium, and Vitamin K which has a role in bone health by promoting bone formation and strengthening activity. Foods high in calcium and magnesium help to build strong enamel which prevents cavities.
It is also said that eating corn and other foods high in the mineral folate (B9) is important and beneficial for the health and growth of the baby in the womb. Of course, check with your doctor before taking any supplements while pregnant.
Eat and be healthy.
