DESCRIPTION: Within a few weeks of eating healthier, our taste sensations change such that foods with lower salt, sugar, and fat content actually taste better.

This is exciting news! That's why I've always encouraged my patients to think of healthy eating as an experiment. I ask them to give me three weeks. The hope is by then not only do they feel so much better (not only physically, but in the knowledge that they don't have to be on medications for chronic diseases the rest of their lives after all!—see Say No to Drugs by Saying Yes to More Plants, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/say-no-to-drugs-by-saying-yes-to-more-plants/), but also that their taste sensitivity has been boosted such that whole foods-as-grown regain their natural deliciousness. To see how a healthy diet can make you feel, check out the Physician's Committee for Responsible Medicine's 21-Day Kickstart program at http://www.21daykickstart.org/.
