If you are looking to lose weight, gain weight, or adjust the amount of sugar, salt, or processed foods in your diet, you should make sure that your sense of taste (and sense of smell) are functioning well. According to the American Academy of Family Physicians, if you can't smell or taste well, you might eat too much or too little. You might overuse sugar, salt, and artificial flavorings. This can lead to a diet that is not aligned with your fuel consumption needs and may lead to diabetes or high blood pressure.
The relationship between weight gain and sense of taste has also been explored by University at Buffalo biologists, who found that obesity may be linked to an impaired sense of taste. The connection makes sense: most people crave sweet or savory tastes and if it is hard to sense these tastes, it is likely that one would overeat in an effort to satisfy that craving. People with an acute sense of taste are far more likely to have their craving satisfied with less food.
Ensuring that your senses of taste and smell are functioning well is vital to your overall health.
