How to determine the character of a person by what he likes to eat? Throughout our long lives, we meet a huge number of people.
Some of them are close to us in terms of business or other work issues. With some we can have fun, getting into the same company. Such situations can be remembered enough.
But it happens that we still do not know anything about a person, but we are very eager to tell something about him. Of course, just having met, we will not ask everything at once. But curiosity still takes over.
Here the subtleties and facts noticed by the people come to the rescue. Paying attention to many points, you can learn enough about a person.
For example, one can learn about the character and habits of a person only by what he prefers in food. What is the best thing to pay attention to in the first place? Now let's talk about this.
Everyone has certain food preferences. Of course, no one is limited to just one or two types of products. In the diet of a particular person there is a variety of food.
But there are still foods that we love the most. And without noticing it, we use them more often than others. This subconscious choice will tell us about the character of a person.
meat lovers
Meat lovers are quite self-confident and active people. They rush through life at a rapid pace, commit a lot of deliberate and thoughtless actions. Therefore, it is not strange that in their life there are ups and downs.
But nothing really upsets them. Having stumbled or suffered trouble, they are not upset, they do not have time for this at all. Meat-eaters move on, without slowing down, to new achievements and achievements.
And such sharp swings from triumphant victories to crushing defeats befall meat lovers everywhere, including in personal life.
Therefore, they need to be a little more careful and try to control everything they have done, so as not to harm themselves, but only to reach heights.
Fish and seafood lovers
Those who eat fish and seafood are characterized by calmness. Unlike meat-eaters, these are quite melancholy people. On the contrary, they do everything at a measured pace and with long deliberation.
To make the right decision, lovers of everything fish need a lot of time. This helps them evaluate and analyze all the positive and negative points. Only then do they make their choice.
People who often eat seafood and fish are also well-known diplomats and careerists. This happens because they are good at analyzing, drawing the right conclusions, predicting the turn and course of events, and guessing the outcome of the situation in advance.
Ultimately, this makes it possible to build a good career or climb the corporate ladder well.
In personal life, everything happens exactly the same. But there is a small downside here. With their miscalculations and foresight, they spoil all the raspberries in a romantic relationship.
vegetable lovers 
Those who often eat meat or other animal products can also love vegetables. It's just that those who primarily love vegetables, most often monitor their health. They try to balance their diet and eat more vitamins.
People who love vegetables are strong in character. They know exactly what they need from life and all possible ways achieve this. Achieving your goals is their life credo.
It has been noted that vegetable lovers often occupy a leading position in society. Leadership is in their blood. They are almost always right and stubbornly prove it to others.
Among other things, vegetable eaters are looking for the right solution in everything, and that's the only way they do it. From the outside, such people look like egoists, because they always insist on their own. But this is not at all the case, because they only point others to the true solutions.
In their personal lives, vegetable lovers also always hold the upper hand and manage all the processes that take place in their family. Therefore, their family life is always clearly and correctly planned.
fruit lovers
People who prefer fruits in their daily diet are very sensitive and creative people. Such people live for the world around them. They are always ready to come to the rescue, give a helping hand when needed.
Fruit lovers are very attentive and caring. They always subtly notice the mood and problems of others and try to help in every possible way.
And what is characteristic, they may not be great bosses or directors at all, but their work and creative impulses will always be noticed and appreciated from the outside. Therefore, their own efforts bring them both pleasure and glory.
In their personal lives, fruit lovers are big romantics. You can expect from such people pleasant gestures and surprises of various kinds. Regarding specific fruits, there are some disagreements.
Apple lovers are somewhat conservative people. They all and always calculate ahead.
Pears. Those who prefer the pear are very cheerful and sociable. These are true friends with whom you will never get bored.
Bananas. Banana eaters are vulnerable and very sensitive people. It's easy to offend them and make them cry. These are great romantics, for them the world is visible in rose-colored glasses.
Grape. Grape lovers do not tolerate loneliness, therefore they always have a lot of friends.
Strawberry. Those who often eat strawberries are very sociable and talkative. There is always something to talk about with them.
Cherry, sweet cherry. Lovers of cherries and cherries are very open and friendly. They love holidays, fun and all sorts of surprises.
oranges. The most self-confident and assertive are orange lovers. Such people always know what they need from life. Energetic and decisive, they know how to be the center of attention and attract the views of others.
spicy lovers 
There are two diametrically opposed points of view about such people. Both are supported by various scientific studies. I don’t know who to believe, so I’ll give both, but the character of such people will have to be judged by some other signs.
Option 1. Such people are prone to adventure, prone to adventures, they are characterized by ease of communication and the absence of any complexes.
Option 2. It would seem that such people are quite assertive and self-confident. But here everything is just the opposite. Because lovers of spicy are often ordinary hackneyed inhabitants of this world.
They have a clear algorithm - home, work, home - which they adhere to on a daily basis. But just all these spicy foods are their only consolation, such a pepper in a boring life.
With the help of these products, these people bring a little bit of bright colors into their boring life. Similarly, in their personal lives, they will sit quietly and not stick their noses anywhere. Therefore, they need strong-willed soul mates so that they can give a good shake, show all the sweetness of life.
sweet lovers
Sweet lovers are very sentimental, crying for them is like an elixir of calm. There is a belief that by eating sweets, they sweeten their lives, thereby eating all the bad and negative.
But here you can disagree, because often they eat sweets to cheer themselves up and bring their brain into active work. Because sweets are often eaten by people who work hard mentally.
Now you know a lot of nuances. And if you liked someone at a party with friends, then by observing his food preferences, you can determine character traits. What will help you start a conversation with this person in the right way and find the right words.
It turns out that each emotion has a certain taste or aroma, and therefore, by eating certain foods, you can influence your psycho-emotional state.
Modern physicians have noticed that the psychological factors of diseases are so strong that they often dominate the physiological factors in treatment. It is also noted that the taste needs of a person depend and are determined by his mental and emotional state, and not from reasonable expediency. And this is due to the fact that food is not only a source of nutrients for the physical body of a person, but also forms its emotional potential of the psyche. In other words, it gives strength to emotions.
The taste of food is emotions
According to Ayurveda, there are 6 tastes:
- sweet
- sour
- salty
- bitter
- tart
- astringent
And if all these tastes are present in a balanced state, then food gives a person health and happiness. If this harmony is disturbed, which often depends on shortcomings of character and behavior, then illnesses come.
So, for example, being in a state of laziness, a person wants a sweet taste. Sweet taste is useful, but from its excess, i.e. Excess sugar in the body reduces defenses, disrupts the metabolism and functions of the liver, pancreas, small vessels, and vision suffers. It has been noticed that a lot of sweets, especially in the evening, are consumed by those who try not to solve their problems.
Experiencing grief, a person unconsciously seeks to diversify his diet with such bitter foods as: mustard, rye bread, coffee. As a result, there is a high probability of chronic infections, diseases of the blood and skeletal system. A pessimistic, touchy person constantly strives to eat sour. And sour in excessive amounts harms the heart, lungs, stomach, intestines, joints, disrupts the internal environment of the body.
A fussy, tense person just loves salty food. He loves her so much that he is ready to eat even sweets with salt. And excessively salty is the enemy of the vessels of the whole organism, bronchi, kidneys, joints. Stubborn, assertive, unrestrained people like excessively tart. Such food leads to diseases of hormonal organs, bronchi, spine, joints, bones.
Angry, overly temperamental people are addicted to spicy food, resulting in inflammatory processes in the liver, pancreas, stomach, heart, and genitals. The need for fried food in a person arises in the presence of rudeness in the character, a feeling of fatigue and aversion to work. And this leads to an overload of the vessels of the brain, liver, stomach, hormonal and immune functions are disturbed.
Greedy people love too much fat, which leads to diseases of the stomach, liver, skeletal system, and metabolic disorders.
Taste of food and stress
People who are in constant mental stress, do not know how to be distracted from problems, prefer to tone up the body with tea, coffee, St. John's wort, oregano.
Being in this state, a person, as a rule, begins to smoke, drink alcohol and other means of poisoning.
One way or another, but at the physiological level, the result of such habits is damage to the vessels of the brain, heart, kidneys, and liver. Moreover, the function of the gonads decreases and the circulatory system begins to suffer.
Irritable, stubborn, greedy, fussy people like to eat a lot, hurry up while eating - appears excess weight, blood pressure disorders, hormonal disorders, disorders in the spine, the body's defenses are reduced.
Food and the modern world
With callousness, greed, a bad attitude towards people, cruelty, excessive attachment to things, a craving for meat appears. And cruelty and straightforwardness causes a huge need for fish products. As a result - pessimism, constant irritability, malignant tumors, accidents.
In addition, these meats and fish require a lot of energy for digestion, which as a result leads to a weakening of all other body functions, including the natural desire for self-healing. Diseases become chronic.
So, what are the emotions associated with food. Let's summarize a little:
grief - bitter emotions,
fear - has an astringent character.
These two emotions exacerbate the psycho-energy flows in the human body, called "vata" in Ayurveda.
envy is a sour emotion,
anger is a caustic emotion.
These two emotions exacerbate the "pita".
desire and passion are sweet emotions,
greed is a salty emotion.
These two increase kapha.
A person who is passionate about what he loves, who treats people kindly, is not prone to perversions of his taste, and thereby increases the opportunity to be healthy and happy.
Thus, indulging our negative character traits, we acquire violations of harmonious taste sensations, which, in turn, makes us eat meat, fish products, fried foods, tea, cocoa, and coffee. Excessively - sweet, - sour, - salty, - tart, - bitter, - fatty, - spicy. And with improper nutrition, diseases develop. This is how the mechanism of punishing a person for negative qualities of character works. Therefore, eat harmoniously and balanced, exclude meat, fish, coffee from your diet, reduce the amount of fried foods, and then you will help your body get rid of many diseases. published

A person's food preferences can tell a lot about the characteristics of his personality, the American scientist believes. He explained how people are characterized by love for salty, spicy and sweet.
Dr. Alan Hirsch, head of the Smell & Taste Treatment and Research Foundation, has been studying eating habits for about 25 years, with more than 18,000 people participating in his research. He believes that the irresistible desire to eat a certain product is due not only to the needs of the body, but also to character traits.
"This craving has a certain physiological basis, but it also helps to understand what kind of person you really are," the website infox.ru quotes the American scientist as saying.
So, for example, those people who are "drawn to the salty", according to Dr. Hirsch, tend to "go with the flow." According to Hirsch, lovers of salty food believe that their fate is determined external forces rather than their own aspirations.
Spicy food stimulates the intensity of metabolism, warms the body. From the point of view of psychology, addiction to spicy says that a person loves order, does not want to waste time and go into details.
Chocolate, Hirsch argues, is a powerful antidepressant that replenishes the body with pleasure hormones. For those who prefer dark chocolate, life is an endless celebration. Such a person lives easily and is always in the center of events. Those who prefer milk chocolate, on the contrary, are quiet people, immersed in their inner experiences.
Those who prefer candy are, in general, like people who love chocolate. In general, sweet tooth more than others follow the call of instincts, says Hirsch. He describes them as very cheerful people who are not accustomed to regret their deeds. They love to stand out from the crowd and feel unique.
Those who equally strongly love both sweets and salty, sluggish metabolism, the scientist claims. Such people are usually loners. Outwardly, they seem restrained, but in practice they often manifest themselves as creative natures.
This is not the first time such studies have been carried out. So, last year, the Turkish psychiatrist Nihat Kai published the results of a long-term study, during which the scientist discovered the interdependence of food addictions and the mental state of a person. The psychiatrist claims that chocolate lovers experience an acute lack of love. Deep down, they feel lonely and unhappy, they lack pity and attention.
Nervous and aggressive people prefer meat, especially beef, the Turkish scientist believes. But people who prefer mainly fruits and vegetables have a calm and balanced character.
Meanwhile, back in the 19th century, the biochemist Alexander Danilevsky, having conducted an experiment on pigeons, proved that meat-eaters are prone to aggression and increased nervousness, and fruit lovers are calm and balanced. For several weeks, the scientist fed one group of birds with peas, and the other with boiled meat. At the end of the experiment, carnivorous pigeons turned into real predators, moreover, incredibly hot-tempered. Those birds that ate peas were still good-natured.
According to other studies, sausage and boiled meat are preferred by assiduous, diligent and obligatory people. Love to fatty foods betrays a jealous nature. Passion for barbecue and smoked sausage speaks of romance, wild imagination and a thirst for travel. Love for seafood also speaks of dreaminess.
According to psychotherapist Vladimir Esaulov, addiction to dairy products betrays the need for care: "After all, this food is associated with mother's milk, and therefore with a period of life when we were protected and surrounded by love." The craving for spicy, the psychotherapist believes, betrays a desire to add "pepper" to life, to hard foods - nuts, hard fruits - a desire to win.
Russian psychologist Alexander Makarov argues that generous and democratic people with a broad soul prefer tomatoes, sensitive people prefer cucumbers, cabbage and beans - those who lack courage and determination. Makarov considers lovers of carrots and apples to be the most healthy and mentally balanced, but the scientist classifies admirers of sour, salty and pickled as tyrants, although not always explicit.

Some experts believe that preference in tastes is associated with a person's blood type. Astrology associates these preferences with belonging to a particular zodiac sign. Many doctors believe that the choice of food taste is associated solely with the state of health of each patient.And they are largely right. The state of a person's health is directly related to the system in which he eats (or lack thereof). Statistical studies confirm that people who abuse meat products most often suffer from stomach cancer. And those who follow vegetarian diet become ill much less frequently. The influence of products on the body continues to be studied, and it is important for a person to listen to his body in order to maintain health.
How are human health and eating habits related?
If the body often asks for sour, it is worth going to an appointment with a gastroenterologist. Perhaps the acidity of your stomach is greatly reduced. It can also pull on sour during a cold, because. “sour foods” contain vitamin C, which is so necessary for the body during colds. In addition, the sour taste is an excellent appetite stimulant.Craving for salt is manifested in people whose bodies have any chronic inflammation or infection. Often people who strive to salt each of their dishes suffer from cystitis, prostatitis, reduced immunity, and inflammation of the appendages. Do not be reminded that salt in excess amounts harms the body, do not be zealous.
If you feel cravings for bitter and spicy tastes, it means that your body is prone to intoxication. Spicy foods thin the blood, remove fats, cleanse the blood vessels. AT moderate amounts spicy foods can be very beneficial for the body. But be careful, acute can irritate the mucous membrane.
A bit of psychology
Each craving for taste has its own psychological aspect. So, for example, people who prefer sour are prone to resentment, revenge, malevolence. Those who are zealous with sweets may be lazy, seeking excessive pleasures. Those who are accustomed to richly salt their food are usually hardworking, hardy, focused on results, and those who like pepper and spicy dishes are passionate, used to getting to the bottom of things.Increased cravings for sweets can occur as a result of traits and moral stress.
