Why do we come to love food that we hated as children over the years?

Why do we come to love food that we hated as children over the years?

You surely remember your childhood and hating certain foods that are your favorites today. You've probably also wondered what happened during that time and how it's possible to love something you once couldn't see. Science is discovering that the perception of taste, which changes over the years, is to blame.

It's very unusual, how the food we didn't like, it can quickly become delicious. The reason lies in the fact that the taste in the mouth changes over the years, say the researchers. Erin Wathen, health coach and nutrition consultant, he tells EliteDaily, that each person is born with approx 10,000 taste buds, which every two weeks they turn. This reversal, however, may also explain why you were as a child more sensitive to certain tastes and textures in foods, but today you are no more, he says Wathenova.

Our ears, nose and throat get damaged over the years they regenerate more slowly, which can cause impaired ability to taste. Because this weakens, the annoying taste is no longer felt when we are older, he says Wathenova. In addition, it also plays an important role the environment. If you live in the area, v which you are constantly exposed to certain foods, you might just grow to like it over time.
