mmmm, that's tasty

Do you ever wonder how you eat?  Why your food tastes good?  Here's some facts that might help you understand.

Saliva
Saliva is the watery and frothy kind of substance that sit’s in your mouth.
It help’s you swallow food, and taste food.
Saliva is 98% water, and contains other stuff like mucus.

Taste buds
Taste buds are sensory organs that are found on your tongue and allow you to experience tastes.
There are 10,000 microscopic taste buds on your tongue.
Each one tastes different kind’s of taste such as, dairy, fruit, savoy, sweet, sour, and lots more!


Spice
When you pop a chilly in your mouth the spice isn't actually the flavour!
around your taste buds there are Spice receptors that makes the spice real, if there was no spice receptors all chilly would taste like is, well, nothing!

Picky eaters
Are you a picky eater? If you are, it’s probably because you are a super taster!
Being a super taster, is having more taste buds than others.
Your taste buds replace over time, adults, like most foods because their taste buds take longer to replace.  Smoking and drinking hot coffee kill taste buds.  Kids are picky eaters because they have more functioning taste buds.

ARE YOU A PICKY EATER? I HOPE THIS ADVICE HAS HELPED YOU.
