Резюмируя вышесказанное, хочется отметить, что помочь пожилому человеку, столкнувшемуся с угасанием из-за возрастных изменений систем восприятия, можно – для этого достаточно разбудить спящие в подсознании с детских лет простейшие образы желаний. Наш мозг любит насыщенные ароматы, богатые вкусы и слегка похрустывающую еду; дополните обстановку чем-нибудь ярким, включите приятную музыку и наслаждайтесь возможностью пообщаться и поесть за одним столом. Понимать то, как работает наша система восприятия вкусовых ощущений, важно на любом этапе жизни, вне зависимости от того, ближе ли мы к рассвету или к закату наших дней.
