Did you ever wonder why your favorite foods taste so good? Well, you should thank your taste buds（味蕾）for letting you enjoy the saltiness and the sweetness.

Taste buds are sensory organs（感觉器官）that are found on your tongue and allow you to experience tastes that are sweet, salty, sour and bitter. The average person has about 10,000 taste buds and they’re replaced（替换）every 2 weeks or so. But as a person grows older, some of those taste buds don’t get replaced. An older person may only have 5,000 working taste buds. That’s why certain foods may have a stronger taste for children than they do for adults. Smoking can also reduce the number of taste buds a person has.

But before you give taste buds all the thanks for your favorite flavors（滋味）, it’s important to thank your nose too. The upper part of your nose can receive the chemicals that make your brain create the sensation（感觉）of flavor. So when you have a cold, and your nose is stuffy, you might notice that your food doesn’t seem to have much flavor. If you hold your nose while eating, your taste buds are able to tell your brain something about what you’re eating—that it’s sweet, for instance—but you won’t be able to pick out the exact flavor until you let go of your nose.

So the next time you enjoy an apple or some soup, thank your tongue and your nose! Without them, life wouldn’t have any flavors.
