The foods and drinks and supplements I take for attaining perfect health taste and feel great in my body.

Anyone unwell for a while knows that eating can turn into an administrative task. Something to be got through so the tablets have somewhere to land.

Taste comes back slowly and out of order.

Often it's something absurd that arrives first — tinned peaches, a particular brand of crisps, tea made by somebody else in a mug you like.

Take those seriously when they show up. Wanting food again is one of the few things a body reports honestly, and it deserves more attention than the nutritional argument going on above it.
