SECTION 5 • Taste SE C TION 5 Creating balance with food TASTE
In her infinite wisdom, nature has packaged all possible food sources into six tastes–sweet, sour, salty, pungent, bitter, and astringent–as a way to inform us about each food’s influence on our mind-body physiology. All six tastes should be eaten at every meal for us to feel satisfied and to ensure that all major food groups and nutrients are represented. In addition to serving as a source of nutrition, food can help balance mind and body.
