Our connection to the outside world is vital to our
health and well-being, and for that we rely on our
senses of sight, sound, smell, taste and touch. In this
issue of You at Your Best, we explore the age-related
loss of those senses and examine ways to protect them.
We evaluate the best ways to clean our hands in this
time of touchless contact. And we remind readers why
counting on our sixth sense isn't always the best idea
when it comes to symptoms of stroke and heart attack.
