A bitter taste in your mouth can be a result of a wide range of medical conditions and even everyday situations.
After a certain illness, you develop a bitter tongue due to the medication you were taking.
Most times because our body is trying to fight harmful cells, in the process, this affects our taste buds and every food we eat might taste is little bitter than normal or we might not even have the appetite to eat at all. These few home remedies will help you restore your taste buds after falling ill.
1. Eat lots of protein
Consuming foods that are rich in protein such as beans, chicken, fish, eggs, lean pork, lean beef, dairy products, and the likes will help improve your taste buds.
2. Eat food rich in zinc
Include in your diet food that is rich in zinc such as dark chocolate, broccoli, okra, spinach, shellfish, oysters, oatmeal because these foods contain neuropeptide that helps to stimulate food intake, making your taste buds much better.
3. Have enough fruits
Eating fruits regularly helps the human body system and also helps to improve the taste buds after an illness. No wonder doctors advise taking lots of fruits during and after falling ill. Include fruits like oranges, pawpaw, strawberries, lemons, bananas, and so on.
