by Dr. Trupti Gokani
According to Ayurveda, taste is ‘the sensation the tongue experiences’ when you eat. Having diverse tastes in your meals helps to satisfy cravings and prevents overeating. Although we spend a lot of time evaluating the carbohydrate, fat and protein content of our food, we rarely think about the variety of taste of the foods we eat.
