Corn grits contain phytosterols that help lower blood cholesterol levels and thus improve heart function. In addition, the potassium and magnesium contained in this porridge have a positive effect on the functioning of the cardiovascular system,  reducing the risk of serious diseases.

The yellow color of corn indicates the presence of beta-carotene, a precursor to vitamin A. This element is essential for maintaining immunity, healthy mucous membranes, and vision in low-light conditions.
