Taste buds are key to a healthy aging, according to new research

new study shows that the ability to taste food plays an important role in health and longevity.a
study of fruit flies found that how a person tastes something may have a greater impact on health and longevity than what they eat, writes HNGN

in addition to it can significantly increase or decrease the life span of animals, depending on the taste, can improve the aging process.researchers point out that bitter taste has a negative effect on animal lifespan, while sweetness has a positive effect.also found that fruit flies may live
43 percent longer than other flies when they can't sense the taste of

"
this gives us a better understanding of how sensory perception affects health. Taste buds have proved to be much more effective than we thought.
”"
know that taste buds can help us avoid certain foods or be attracted to certain foods, and in fruit flies, taste seems to have a profound effect on physiological status and healthy aging.
”Pletchers
says fruit flies don't perceive the taste of water, and they make up for their inability to perceive water by storing large amounts of fat and then using it to produce water in the body.,

, he says loss of taste can trigger physiological changes that help the body adapt to the perception that it is not adequately nutritious."
These findings help us better understand the effects
of sensory signals, which we now know not only adapt organisms to the environment, but also cause substantial physiological changes that affect overall health and longevity," Pletchers
said in a statement.
”
we need further research to help us apply this knowledge to the potential health of humans, possible by supporting a customized diet for a particular taste or even by pharmaceutical compounds that target taste without changing the diet.

also highlight the fact that sensory perception may affect health-related traits such as exercise performance, type
II
diabetes, and aging, writes HNGN
