Fun Food Fact: Why olives or aged cheese taste good after a long walk?

After a long walk or energetic activity, many people suddenly crave something unexpected – like chips, pickles, or even chocolate spread. Not surprising: your body then needs carbohydrates, proteins, salt, and minerals. Your taste preferences can temporarily change after exertion, making flavors that you normally avoid suddenly irresistible! Like a combination of salt, fat, or sugar.

No wonder these snacks taste so good afterward:

• A good nut mix
• A platter with aged cheese or goat cheese
• Olives or pickles
• Rustic bread with hummus or tapenade
• Fruit such as apple, banana, or grapes

A lunch or platter with these ingredients is a guaranteed success.
