Any summer resident can grow corn - the crop is considered unpretentious, and the cobs themselves are not that expensive.

With all this, corn is a very healthy food product that improves the condition of the skin.

Nutritionist Evgeny Arzamastsev spoke about this in an interview with Gazeta.ru.

Young corn contains a lot of silicon, which is good for hair, nails and skin condition. Corn also contains B vitamins, which is especially important for vegetarians, the specialist advises.

To provide the body with valuable microelements and vitamins, the expert advises eating young cobs.

The fact is that they contain little plant fiber, which slows down the absorption of vitamins.

If there are no contraindications, then you can eat corn up to 4 times a week. You can safely give corn to children.

Contraindications

But not everything is so smooth. You need to be careful with this vegetable if you have inflammatory processes in the gastrointestinal tract.
