HEALTH & BENEFITS

Corn is a good source of fiber, which can help regulate blood sugar levels and promote digestive health. Ground beef is a source of protein, which is essential for muscle growth and repair. However, it is also high in saturated fat, so it should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
