Recipes with Corn: Popcorn with Coriander & Cumin
Recipes with Corn: Popcorn with Coriander & Cumin
When you think of corn, eating fresh boiled ears slathered in butter may come to mind. Or perhaps you prefer corn cobs browned on a grill at home or on a camping trip.

While corn in its many forms tastes sweet and satisfies the belly, it is warmer and lighter than wheat.

It also has some important health benefits.

Let’s take a look.

Reduced Water Retention & Blood Pressure

If you suffer from water retention or high blood pressure, adding corn to your diet may help.

Corn contains a sizeable amount of potassium. Potassium is, chemically speaking, the opposite of sodium.

As a diuretic, potassium actually reduces water retention counteracting the action of sodium in the body. A high potassium diet just may be the ideal low sodium diet.

And of course, this makes corn a boon for those with high blood pressure, especially in spring when water congestion in the body reaches a peak.

People with Kapha constitutions take note. The best form of corn for you is popcorn because popcorn's dryness absorbs excess Kapha fluids in your stomach.

The Dark Side of Corn

As the poster child for the modern industrial food complex, corn cultivation also has a dark side. Traditionally, native central Americans grew many varieties of corn side by side with vegetables from other plant families.

Today, however, most corn fields are grown as a mono-crop, depleting soils and requiring heavy use of pesticides. The inability of cultivated plants to survive without pesticide and fertilizer use is a testimony to their lack of vitality.

Edible weeds, on the other hand, bring their revitalizing life force to the table.

Corn is also a victim of GMO. Ayurveda recommends you avoid all genetically modified life forms.

Corn Syrup & the Obesity Epidemic

The conversion of corn into corn syrup may be responsible for the obesity epidemic in American.

The FDA, infiltrated by corporations such as Monsanto, gave its rubber stamp approval to genetically modified (GMO) corn. As of 2009 GMO corn comprised up to 85 percent of corn sown in the United States, despite ongoing controversy over potential health and environmental hazards.

About Corn

Meso-Americans domesticated corn (also known as maize) in pre-historic times, and it spread through much of the Americas between 1700 and 1250 BCE.

Traditionally corn, beans and squash formed the three sisters, widely cultivated by native American peoples. When planted together, the three sisters help build fertile soil while providing a diverse nutritional profile.

While most corn stands at 8.2 feet, at least one variety grows to 39 feet in length.

Buying & Preparation

Considering the heavy use of pesticides and GMO corn product, Ayurveda recommends you eat organic corn only. Fortunately, frozen organic corn is generally inexpensive.

Cooking Corn

There are many ways to prepare, cook, and enjoy corn including:
  • Eating it on or off the cob
  • Cooked into a thick porridge
  • As grits, polenta or stuffed into tamales
  • Served dry as in tortillas, chips, and popcorn.
  • Baked into cornbread
  • Fermented into alcoholic beverages

INCREASES
Guna Help

Increases These Biocharacteristics (Gunas)

Functional Ayurveda helps you assess imbalances through 20 main biocharacteristics (gunas). Aggravating these characteristics weakens your body and causes imbalance. By knowing which characteristics are habitually imbalanced in your body, you will be able to identify and correct imbalances before you get sick. Every characteristic has an opposite which balances it (i.e. hot balances cold). You restore balance by favoring diet and lifestyle choices that increase the opposite characteristic.

TASTES
Taste Help

The 6 Tastes

Taste is used to sense the most basic properties and effects of food. Each taste has a specific medicinal effect on your body. Cravings for food with certain tastes indicate your body is craving specific medicinal results from food. Taste is experienced on the tongue and represents your body's reaction to foods. Sweet taste causes physical satisfaction and attraction whereas bitter taste causes discomfort and aversion. Kapha should use less sweet taste while Vata and Pitta would benefit from using more sweet taste. One of the first signs of illness is that your taste and appetite for food changes. The six tastes are sweet, sour, salty, pungent, bitter, and astringent. Do you crave foods with any of the tastes below?

DOSHAS
Dosha Help

The Three Doshas / Body Types

According to the biocharacteristic theory of medicine, people tend to get sick, over and over again, due to habitual causes and imbalances that are unique to the person. Your body type summarizes this tendency, showing you the 'type' of conditions and imbalances that frequently challenge your health & wellness. Using body type, you can also identify remedies likely to improve your strength and resiliency. Your body type identifies physical and mental characteristics as well as your personal strengths and weaknesses. The calculation of your body type is based on your medical history.

The 3 functional body types (doshas), are Catabolic (Vata), Metabolic (Pitta), and Anabolic (Kapha). Catabolic individuals tend to break down body mass into energy. They are easily stimulated, hyperactive, underweight and dry. Metabolic individuals tend to burn or use energy. They tend to be rosy-cheeked, easily irritated, focused, driven, and easily inflamed. Anabolic individuals tend to store energy as body mass. If they store too much energy, they could gain weight easily and have congestion. Anabolic people tend to be stable and grounded.

HOW DOES EATING AYURVEDICALLY MAKE YOU FEEL?

Eating Ayurvedically makes you feel nourished and energized. Food digests with ease when right for your body type (dosha). Healthy digestion is seen as the cornerstone of well-being in Ayurveda. Healthy digestion generally prevents illness. If you do get sick, a strong digestive fire reduces the severity of illness and increases your resilience. It also improves your mood. Once you begin eating Ayurvedically, you will feel refreshed, vital and strong.

About John Joseph Immel

About the Author

John Immel, the founder of Joyful Belly, teaches people how to have a healthy diet and lifestyle with Ayurveda biocharacteristics. His approach to Ayurveda is clinical, yet exudes an ease which many find enjoyable and insightful. John also directs Joyful Belly's School of Ayurveda, offering professional clinical training in Ayurveda for over 15 years.

John's interest in Ayurveda and specialization in digestive tract pathology was inspired by a complex digestive disorder acquired from years of international travel, as well as public service work in South Asia. John's commitment to the detailed study of digestive disorders reflects his zeal to get down to the roots of the problem. His hope and belief in the capacity of each & every client to improve their quality of life is nothing short of a personal passion. John's creativity in the kitchen and delight in cooking for others comes from his family oriented upbringing. In addition to his certification in Ayurveda, John holds a bachelor's degree in mathematics from Harvard University.

John enjoys sharing Ayurveda within the context of his Catholic roots, and finds Ayurveda gives him an opportunity to participate in the healing mission of the Church. Jesus expressed God's love by feeding and healing the sick. That kindness is the fundamental ministry of Ayurveda as well. Outside of work, John enjoys spending time with his wife and 7 kids, and pursuing his love of theology, philosophy, and language.
