Don’t panic. You don’t have to give up your favorite game-day snack. Here’s the survival guide:
- Start small. Eat a handful, not a bucket. Let your gut adjust.
- Drink water slowly. Don’t flood the system. Sip, don’t chug.
- Choose unsalted or low-sodium versions. Your stomach and your blood pressure will high-five you.
- Buy pre-shelled kernels if you’re lazy (or in a hurry). Less work, less risk of shell-related drama.
And if you do overdo it? Accept your fate. Grab some ginger tea, a heating pad, and remember: you are a warrior of snack science. It happens to the best of us.
