Food the best way to reach Heaven

Guys, don't get me wrong :- )

Let me rephrase. Food is the best way to feel heaven. My outlook towards life is if we have to stay happy, one need to own a healthy soul & body.  The precise way is through your food.

Indulging in different tastes. Experimenting on the sensations while mixing five basic tastes (together with sweetness, sourness, bitterness, savory and saltiness) always fascinates me. I like to enjoy new tastes,  combinations and recipes.

If I remember it right. My amusement towards experimenting taste or a foodie in me must have evolved, since I started staying away from home. Maybe while I was in my graduation, went on during my career phase. And now being myself a husband and a father, I hit the kitchen to surprise my spouse with spontaneous cusines. 

Coming back to foodie tastes. Did you ever wonder why your favorite foods taste so good? Well, you can thank your taste buds. They are small organ located on the tongue in terrestrial vertebrates that functions in the perception of taste.  An average person has about 10,000 taste buds and they're replaced every 2 weeks or so. But as a person ages, some of those taste cells don't get replaced. An older person may only have 5,000 working taste buds. That's why certain foods may taste stronger to you than they do to older adults.

In a nut shell appreciate good food. Live healthy stay happy. Do justice to your taste buds. Let OLD age not reach us anywhere near ;-)
