Taste

   Taste covers an area of experience that goes far beyond the ingestion of food and drink. It is not by chance that meeting certain people leaves us with a bitter taste, or that certain attitudes make us feel sick.

Exercises linked to the sense of taste:

-       Move your tongue, unclench your teeth and swallow your saliva as if you were tasting a sophisticated dish. What do you feel?

-       Learn to chew food slowly and impregnate it with saliva rather than swallowing it quickly. Taste can only develop if you search for the flavour, the subtlety, the tonality of what you are tasting.

-       Prioritise quality rather than quantity. Eat a fresh, varied and balanced diet. Eat less, but well. Don’t eat until you have satisfied your hunger and are completely full; it’s far better to still feel slightly hungry. You will not only prevent your organism becoming unnecessarily tired, but you will save valuable energy.
