WEEKEND WELLNESS: Why Corn Is Good for You!
A simple joy on your plate, a powerful boost for your health 💛
Sweet. Sunny. Comforting. Corn feels like the weekend — simple pleasures, slow moments, and guilt-free goodness.
This weekend, let your snack also be your self-care moment. Here’s why corn deserves a spot in your “weekend favorites” list:
Top Health Benefits of Corn
1️⃣ Fiber for Digestion & Gut Health
Corn’s natural dietary fiber helps prevent constipation and keeps your gut healthy.
2️⃣ Packed With Vitamins & Antioxidants
With B-vitamins, vitamin C, lutein, and zeaxanthin, corn supports eye health and protects your cells from damage.
3️⃣ A Great Energy Source
Its complex carbohydrates provide steady, long-lasting energy — perfect for your weekend activities.
4️⃣ Heart-Friendly Goodness
Fiber and plant compounds in corn help support healthy cholesterol levels.
5️⃣ Naturally Gluten-Free
Good for people with gluten sensitivity or those choosing lighter carb sources.
6️⃣ Supports Immunity
Antioxidants and vitamins boost your body’s defense system.
⚠️ Weekend Wellness Reminder
Corn is healthy — but how you prepare it matters.
• Go easy on the butter
Too much butter adds saturated fat, which may affect heart health if taken regularly.
• Limit the salt
High salt intake can raise blood pressure. Choose a light sprinkle only, or opt for herbs and spices as a healthier flavor boost.
• Mindful balance for diabetics
Pair corn with protein or vegetables to help keep blood sugar stable.
💛 Enjoy It the Healthier Way
✔ Steamed or boiled corn
✔ Add a squeeze of calamansi or a dash of paprika instead of extra salt
✔ Try it in soups or salads for more fiber
