As we continue our series of articles about how our senses change with age, this seems like the perfect month to consider our sense of taste. After all, the holiday season is filled with opportunities to enjoy an array of delicious foods.

Unfortunately, it’s normal for our taste buds to lose some of their sensitivity as we enter our 50s or 60s. This is because our taste buds begin to shrink in size. In addition, they regenerate less often as we grow older.
