👅💧 Did you know that without spit, your favorite foods would be tasteless?
It’s true! Our saliva does a lot more than just keep our mouths wet. It acts as a natural solvent that dissolves the chemicals in our food, allowing them to finally bond and interact with our taste receptors.
When you experience dry mouth (xerostomia), food molecules can’t dissolve properly, which directly numbs or alters your sense of taste! 🍓🍋🍫
