Here’s the secret that will change your life: Chew your corn until it’s practically liquid. The more you break down those tough shells, the less work your intestines have to do. Imagine you’re a human food processor, and your job is to pulverize every kernel into submission.
Also, drink plenty of water! Fiber is like a dry sponge—it needs water to do its job. Without enough water, the fiber just sits there, creating a corn-based traffic jam. And nobody wants a corn-traffic-jam, right?
And finally, don’t eat a mountain of corn. A sensible serving (one ear or a half-cup of kernels) is plenty. Respect the corn, and the corn will respect you back. Or at least, it won’t make you late for your next meeting.
