food tastes different if one has cold.give reason
Answers
So the cold merely blocks our nose and the sense of smell, but along with it our ability to taste food goes for a toss. ... You avoid food because it tastes bland and flavorless, because of what the cold has done to your taste buds.
When we come down with a cold, oftentimes our senses of smell and taste get kicked to the curb. Although taste and smell are separate senses with their own receptors, they are closely intertwined. Your nose plays a big role in what flavors your tongue can identify, and when your nasal cavity becomes congested with mucus, it may leave food tasting as bland as a board.
The nose and the mouth are connected. Literally, the nasal and oral cavities run into each other. That's why the mucus clogging your nose nullifies the delicious and not-so-delicious flavors of food. This same mucus will also, most likely, cause bad breath that should be addressed.
