Q My mother has been a very healthy person, and her diet has been what I would call balanced.
She always had fresh fruit and vegetables, limited sugar, and watched her salt.
A short time ago, I noticed that she is eating less and less. She has also started to use quite heavy doses of salt on her foods.
When I ask her, she says things don’t taste the same, and she just gets full quicker.
Is this normal, or is it something to have checked out?
