Can corn juice be used for skin care and slimming? Can pregnant women and their babies consume corn juice? The answer is yes! Corn juice can protect the cardiovascular system, prevent diseases and aging, and can help prevent heart disease and cancer.
It is particularly suitable for consumption by individuals with spleen-stomach deficiency, insufficient qi and blood, malnutrition, or obesity.
Corn Juice Preparation Process: Process Flow: Selection -→ Remove the husks and silk -→ Cleaning -→ Enzyme inactivation -→ Cooling -→ Scraping and removing kernels -→ Juicing -→ Filtration -→ Corn Juice -→ Mixing and blending -→ Homogenization -→ Filtration -→ Cooked. Self-made Method: 1. Selection: Choose high-quality, whole young corn with sweet (yellow) kernels. Avoid using glutinous corn or those already prepared in packets from vendors, as these are more likely to have hygiene issues or be contaminated with insects.
2. Pick: After the corn husks have been peeled, remove any beards and wash them with water.
3. Peeling: Use a knife to remove the corn kernels, pay attention to safety and do not add other ingredients to the baby's corn juice! Then rinse it again with water.
4. Boil: Add an appropriate amount of water (enough to cover the corn) and bring to a boil until cooked.
Don't take too long; just let it cook for a bit.
5. Juice Extraction: Use a juice extractor to extract the corn and water together, then place the extracted juice into a container for use later.
6. Filtration: Use a fine mesh sieve to filter the mashed corn pulp before placing it into the pot.
7. Boiling: Add the appropriate amount of milk (depending on personal preference) and boil until it is boiling. The final step primarily serves to sterilize and season the dish.
Corn Juice Ready-Pressed Method: The ready-pressed method involves first cooking the corn and then adding it to a juicer for processing.
The steaming method offers a better taste and can make ice or hot corn juice at any time.
To make corn juice, you need to cook the corn until it's tender. This way, the juice is thick and not watery at all.
The taste is much better than that of raw corn juice.
Corn Juice Fresh Pressing Method: Simply place fresh corn into the corn juicer to extract the juice, then heat the resulting juice.
If it's fresh, just boil the corn juice.
However, it tends to boil more easily when cooked. Therefore, if you are using old corn, you may need to cook it for a bit longer, which will result in better texture and easier nutrient absorption. Generally, after boiling for about fifteen minutes, turn off the heat.
The benefits and functions of corn juice. Corn is the most common crop, and it's currently the perfect time to enjoy it. Street corners are filled with vendors selling roasted corn, and there are numerous ways to consume corn products, such as making porridge, steamed buns, or steamed dumplings. Consuming appropriate amounts of corn-based products can be extremely beneficial for one's health.
Corn juice is one of them.
We all know that corn is a coarse grain, rich in nutrients and fiber. If we make corn into juice, will its effects be the same? The answer is yes.
1. Corn protects the cardiovascular system.
Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that corn has the effects of strengthening the spleen, promoting diuresis, harmonizing the middle and stomach, and facilitating diuresis, making it very suitable for consumption by individuals with spleen deficiency.
Modern nutrition science also believes that corn contains a large amount of nutrients.
The content of cellulose in fresh corn is 6-8 times that in refined rice and wheat, which can reduce the concentration of blood cholesterol, thereby preventing cardiovascular diseases.
Corn contains a special anticancer factor, glutathione, which can combine with many kinds of carcinogens in the human body and make them lose their carcinogenicity.
Carotene in corn is digested and converted into vitamin A with physiological activity. Vitamin A can prevent and delay the precancerous lesion.
2. Vitamin E in corn is an important anti-aging and beauty substance.
The cellulose in corn is a carbohydrate which cannot be absorbed by human body, and it can reduce the concentration of carcinogenic substances in the intestine, decrease the accumulation of toxins in the intestine and thus reduce the incidence of colon cancer and rectal cancer.
The pectin in cellulose is combined with carcinogens and makes them harmless to be excreted from the human body.
The contained lignin makes the activity of macrophages in the body to swallow bacteria and cancer cells increase 2 ~ 3 times, and can inhibit the occurrence of cancer.
3. In addition, corn contains a large amount of magnesium, and it has been proven that magnesium has significant anti-tumor and cancer prevention effects on living cells. It plays the role of "universal controller" for living cells.
Research has shown that the nutritional value of special corn is higher than that of ordinary corn.
For example, the protein, vegetable oil and vitamin content of sweet corn is 1-2 times higher than that of regular corn.
Selenium content in the "life element" is 8 - 10 times higher.
It contains 17 amino acids, 13 of which are higher than ordinary corn.
4. The benefits of eating corn for women in preventing diseases and anti-aging are the best.
Corn contains seven kinds of anti-aging agents.
Among the 50 or so nutritional substances that have been proven to be effective, corn contains seven: calcium, glucoglucosinolates, vitamins, magnesium, selenium, vitamin E and fatty acids.
It was found that 100 grams of corn can provide nearly 300 milligrams of calcium, almost the same as that in dairy products.
Calcium is rich and can reduce blood pressure.
If you take 1g of calcium per day, the blood pressure will decrease by 9% after 6 weeks.
Furthermore, carotene in corn can be converted into vitamin A by the human body after being absorbed.
Plant cellulose can accelerate the expulsion of carcinogenic substances and other toxicants.
Natural Vitamin E can promote cell division, delay aging, reduce serum cholesterol and prevent skin diseases, and also relieve arteriosclerosis and cerebral function decline.
5. Prevents heart disease and cancer.
In a study that lasted one year, experts compared the nutritional value and health benefits of various staple foods such as corn, rice, wheat.
It was found that the vitamin content in corn is very high, which is 5-10 times of that in rice and wheat.
At the same time, corn contains a large amount of nutritious and health-protecting substances which also surprise experts.
Besides containing carbohydrates, proteins and fats, corn also contains riboflavin and vitamins.
These substances have great benefits in preventing heart diseases and cancers.
Research also suggests that the nutritional value of special corn is higher than that of ordinary corn.
For example, the protein, vegetable oil and vitamins content of sweet corn is 1-2 times higher than that of common corn.
The content of Selenium is 8-10 times higher.
It contains 17 amino acids, 13 of which are higher than ordinary corn.
Furthermore, the moisture content, active substances, vitamins, and other nutritional components of fresh corn are much higher than those in matured corn. This is because during storage, the content of nutrients in corn rapidly declines.
Who should consume corn juice? Generally, people can eat it, and particularly suitable for those with spleen-stomach deficiency, blood and qi deficiency, malnutrition, arteriosclerosis, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, coronary heart disease, cardiovascular diseases, obesity, fatty liver, cancer patients, memory decline, habitual constipation, chronic nephritis edema, as well as elderly people.
Pregnant women can consume it.
Corn can help increase the intake of dietary fiber and prevent constipation.
When eating the whole grain, it is important to clean up the white endosperm at the root of the corn because the content of unsaturated fatty acids in the endosperm reaches 85%, and it also contains rich vitamins E, which can help brain development of the fetus.
The baby can eat it.
The non-glutinous old corn has a high content of amylose, which easily gelatinizes and becomes hard, making it difficult to chew. It is not suitable for babies.
The edible corn cobs currently on sale in the market are mainly made of starch, and are tender. They are very popular with children, who can eat them 2-3 times a week.
It is not recommended that infants under one year old consume corn as their main staple food.
Can babies drink corn juice? For babies over 6 months, they can have a small amount of corn juice daily, but it must be cooked thoroughly.
The amount of corn juice to be consumed should be adjusted according to the baby's months and in moderation, without consuming too much at once.
The baby can eat it.
The non-glutinous old corn, with too high amylose content, is prone to aging and retrogradation, making it difficult to chew. It's not suitable for babies.
The present market available kobo rice sticks are mainly made of the amylose and have soft texture, which is very popular among young children. It can be eaten 2-3 times a week.
However, it is not recommended to feed infants under one year old directly with corn as their main food.
Corn juice is rich in more than 30 nutrients that are essential for human beings but difficult to synthesize in the body.
Examples include iron, calcium, selenium, zinc, potassium, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, glutathione, glucose, amino acids, etc.
The main characteristics are: it does not need gastric juice to be decomposed, can be directly absorbed by the intestine and more satisfied the human nutrition balance needs. The combination of many kinds of nutrients makes this product have special health care effects such as improving brain cell activity, improving memory, promoting growth and development, enhancing beneficial bacteria, inhibiting harmful bacteria, preventing cell aging and delaying aging, cancer prevention and anti-cancer etc.
