While it's not always possible to fully regain a diminished sense of smell👃 or taste👅, there are some tricks that can help improve them, including serving hot and cold foods together, which can spur your taste buds into action.
Taste buds are also altered by loss of nerve function, resulting in a less distinct sense of taste. People can identify four tastes — salty, sweet, sour and bitter. Since salt is one of the first tastes that becomes decreased, older people may oversalt their food to compensate for the loss, leading to high blood pressure levels. Other causes among older populations are tooth loss/denture wearing and reduced saliva production.We all know how hard it is to smell or taste normally when we are sick.
Several neurodegenerative conditions can be associated with loss of smell and taste, including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and multiple sclerosis.
