10 Bell's Palsy Symptoms
Symptom #8: Decreased Sense of Taste
Being able to taste food allows us to tell what is good, and what is bad. It helps us to determine between food that is rancid or toxic and potentially dangerous to us and food which is safe to eat. It also helps to make our food delicious, encouraging us to take on essential nutrition.
People with Bell’s palsy will often find that their ability to taste food is inhibited. Food is unlikely to taste as good as it usually does, and they could even end up eating potentially harmful foods by mistake. It is still essential to eat enough, though, and it is necessary to be more careful than usual.
