1 Children and youth aged 5â17 should accumulate at least 60 minutes of moderate- to vigorous-intensity physical activity daily. 2  Amounts of physical activity greater than 60 minutes provide additional health benefits.  Most of the daily physical activity should be aerobic.
Myth #2: Corn is fattening and sugary. Truth: An ear of corn has about the same number of calories as an apple and less than one-fourth the sugar. In other words, it can be one of the healthier foods at the cookout! Just remember: while sweet corn is healthy, some of the toppings people like to put on it arenât.

Corn is a grain not a vegetable, no matter what form it is in. It also is not very nutritious compared to vegetables and many other foods. While I do enjoy an ear of corn or an occasional bowl of popcorn, it is a treat, not something to rely on for daily consumption.ardly surprising seeing as we have been fed a lot of garbage about nutrition over the last fifty years. Most of the studies have been funded by the CORN industry so it comes as no surprise that they are now trying to tell us that it is a SUPERFOOD.
