Prevent Constipation

One cup of maize has 18.4 percent of the daily recommended amount of fiber. Because maize is a complete grain, it may help with digestive issues including constipation and hemorrhoids. According to one research, a corn barn relieved constipation substantially better than a wheat barn.

Dietary fiber may assist in bulk and soften feces, facilitate regular evacuation, and reduce straining. This is accomplished by increasing peristaltic motion and the generation of gastric juice and bile. Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and diarrhea can be considerably decreased by adding volume to loose stools.
