Eating corn also helps boost immunity, control blood sugar, and is good for people with diabetes.

People with stomach problems should not eat a lot because corn contains a lot of fiber, which can cause discomfort, bloating, and indigestion. You should only eat one corn a day.
Old people, young children, and people with poor digestive systems should not eat corn regularly because it can put pressure on the stomach.
You should not completely replace rice with corn but should eat a variety of foods.
