Help Manage Diabetes

Diabetes appears to have become a global epidemic in recent decades. Although the particular process is unknown, it is thought to be connected to nutrition. According to a 2018 study published in the journal Food Science and Human Wellness, intake of whole-grain maize is associated with a lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Consumption of its kernels, according to the Journal of Medicinal Food, aids in the treatment of non-insulin-dependent diabetic Mellitus (NIDDM) and may be useful against hypertension due to the presence of phenolic phytochemicals in whole corn. According to the British Journal of Nutrition, phytochemicals can control the absorption and release of insulin in the body, which can lower the risk of spikes and declines in persons with diabetes and help them maintain a healthy lifestyle.
