Description: At a certain point, most of us begin to realise that perhaps our eyesight isn't as sharp as it was, nor our hearing quite as acute. We may think that food doesn't taste as good as it did when we were young, or that roses don't smell as sweet. Many people accept such experiences as a normal part of ageing but, as this book will show, you really don't have to! Drawing on expert knowledge and tried-and-tested techniques as well as cutting-edge research, this book offers a personal action plan for anyone to preserve and even enhance their senses of sight, hearing, taste and smell. The book contains three comprehensive sections covering sight, hearing, taste and smell with masses of advice on what to do to protect your senses, how to recognise and assess any problems (including checklists of symptoms and when to seek help), and the dozens of ways that specialists can help to correct disorders and cure disease.
