Yes, this is common! As we age, our taste buds and sense of smell gradually decline, starting in our 40s. Factors like medications, reduced saliva production, or even hormonal shifts can also impact taste. Additionally, life experience alters our perception of flavors—things that once seemed too strong may now be enjoyable. Staying hydrated, experimenting with spices, and maintaining oral health can enhance your tasting experience.
