Few Food/Drink Choices

Hey guys, i was wondering if a lack of food or drink choices (i mean a few list of food or dinks you like) can be a sign of lack of input to our senses (taste) in childhood?

I'm not sure if it's true if someone get early exposed to new foods can develop a good taste later or it don't work that way?

I will love to drink some wine with my friends in meetings etc, but is horrible for me the taste, the only alcoholic drink i like to an extent is beer =(

I ask this only to get more "variety" of input in my lifestyle, try new stuff etc, not to fit in a place of course ..

Cheers

Evidence suggests yes. It's certainly true of odors, however exposure at any time will do as long as it is sufficient (practiced). That means we can learn to smell something that we could not detect before!

There are other factors at work during development too, for example some things really do taste different to us when we're young for good reason. One example is vegetables like spinach -it turns out that those foods contain too much of certain substances for a smaller body to effectively cope with (in this case oxalic acid), so we tend not to like the taste of them when we're little. Biology knows what its doing.

Yes; research implies that we can develop a taste for anything, given enough exposure. I did this experiment myself too, by choosing something I really didn't like, and eating it often. I strongly disliked olives and avocados, now I like them.

If you don't like wine, you can mix it with fruit juice or water, and even stir honey into it; it won't mind. Resveratrol is also high in red grape juice (and of course red grapes. We all contain the perfect juicer and food mixer -our teeth.) Herbs & spices also offer a lot of new tastes applied to foods we already like.

Well, now that you said it, i now remember that happend with me with some vegeteables, and tuna, at least now they are "neutral" =)

Experiment mode ON: I think i will start drinking every day very little wine to see if it happend the same way, and when i drink it exploit the placebo effect and say with conviction "mmm wonderful!!!, sad i need to wait till tomorrow to drink it again!" LOL =)

Hi dude,
If you mix wine with fruit juice its easy not to notice it  :  )  and a small bit like half a glass will do the trick medicinally, give you your resveratrol and keep those arteries lovely and clean.
These days its often safer to make your own, unless you live somewhere civilized where they don't put loads of sulphur in it (ie france). South african & chilean wine is good for lighting fires, I kid you not.
Best,
AR
