HOW TO LOVE VEGETABLES MORE IN JUST A FEW WEEKS
Research suggests there may be a way to train your tongue to love the good-for-you foods you're not so fond of. It works on kids. Could it work for you? It's all about repeat exposure. In a study of elementary school students, the more the children were exposed to the taste of vegetables they disliked, the more their mouths learned to enjoy them.

Research suggests there may be a way to train your tongue to love the good-for-you foods you're not so fond of. It works on kids. Could it work for you? It's all about repeat exposure. In a study of elementary school students, the more the children were exposed to the taste of vegetables they disliked, the more their mouths learned to enjoy them.In the student study, it took just a couple of months of weekly sampling (and encouragement from teachers) to produce a change of heart about the vegetables. True, it's a study in kids. But other research has suggested the approach may work in adults, too, because -- just like kids do -- adults tend to experience food neophobia -- a dislike for the taste of foods that are new. Once those new foods become familiar through repeated exposure, they often start tasting good instead of bad.
