Question

Explain why you seem to lose your sense of taste when you have a cold.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The sense of smell and taste are related to each other. It is the smell that influences our taste of the food. Hence it is often difficult for us to distinguish between flavors with a stuffy nose.

While chewing, the aroma of our food travels through our nasal area. There the hair cells carry the odor related information to the brain. But when we a have cold, due to the mucus in our nose we are not able to smell the odor and hence our brain is not able to tell us about the flavor of the dishes that we are having. As a result we feel that our food tastes bland and we do not feel like having anything when we are sick.
