A normal heart rate is 60 to 100 beats per minute at rest. Ventricular tachycardia is a regular, faster-than-normal heart rate that begins in the heart's lower chambers.
Umami (pronounced oo-MAH-mee) has been called the fifth taste, joining the traditional quartet of salty, sweet, bitter and sour. The word umami derives from the Japanese umai, which roughly translates as deliciousness [source: Umami Information Center]. Chefs have described it as everything from delicate and subtle to earthy, musty and mushroom-like [source: Ninomiya].
What does umami taste like? The literal translation of the Japanese term means âpleasant, savory tasteâ or âyummy,â but that hardly gives you much to go on. Letâs put it into terms you can understand. Think fatty meats like steak. Think seafood. Think aged cheese â all carry the signature of umami, and the list doesnât end there.
