Nutritional Values & Facts:

Corn has numerous nutritional values in diet since it is low in saturated fat and cholesterol, in addition to sodium. It is also a good supply of dietary fibre. One medium ear contains about 2.8 grams of fiber and nearly 3.5 grams of protein. Corn is also a good source of vitamin C (more than 10 percent of recommended daily values). Additionally, it has thiamin (14.8 percent of recommended daily values), which helps to produce energy for the heart, muscles and nervous system; riboflavin; niacin (8.3 percent of recommended daily values), which helps with normal functioning of the nerves, skin and digestive system; pantothenic acid (9 percent of recommended daily values), which helps the body convert food to energy; magnesium (8 percent of DV); and phosphorus (11 percent of DV).

Cheese is rich in calcium, phosphorus, potassium, and sodium. It has a good amount of potassium and small amounts of iron, zinc, and selenium. It has an extreme amount of vitamin A and choline. It also has a small amount of vitamin E, K, riboflavin, vitamin B6, folate, vitamin B12, pantothenic acid, and betaine.It reduces the risk of osteoporosis, hypertension, tooth decay, and heart diseases
