       STEPS AND TIPS ON HOW TO INCREASE YOUR SENSE OF SMELL

       ==Pay more attention to what you already
       smell. People often say "use it or lose it" about muscles, but
       the same can be applied towards
       senses. The more you use your senses, the better
       you get! Learn how to describe smells. You might even want to
       keep an olfactory journal! For extra practice, have someone hold
       various things to
       your nose while you're blindfolded and see if you can identify
       the smells.
       =>2 Note how certain smells make you feel . The nerves that
       sense smell are directly connected to
       the emotional part of your brain, leaving your rationality out
       of the equation. Studies found, for
       example, that the smell of fast food wrappers,
       fresh bread or pastry increase the likelihood of
       road rage; peppermint and cinnamon improve concentration and
       decrease irritability in drivers;
       and lemon and coffee promote clear thinking
       and high concentration levels in general.
       => 3 Avoid foods that cause excess mucus production. Have you
       ever noticed that your sense of smell fades, or perhaps
       completely
       disappears, when you have a cold? Congestion
       in the membranes in the nose that contain the
       smell-sensitive nerve endings can dull your
       ability to smell, and avoiding foods that promote
       stuffiness (milk, cheese, yogurt and ice cream) might help.[2]
       The way this affects taste is that there is a
       channel from the back of your throat to the
       sensory cells in your nose. If this channel is
       blocked by any kind of congestion, your
       ability to taste food will be affected.[3]
       =>4 Avoid substances that can impair your sense
       of smell. Some cold remedies can make you lose your sense of
       smell, such as a few Zicam
       intranasal products warned against by the FDA. [4] Smoking can
       also interfere with your sense of smell.[3] Keep alcohol to a
       minimum, as your sense of smell is impaired as your blood
       alcohol
       levels rise.
       => 5 Get more zinc in your diet. Hyposmia (the medical term for
       an impaired sense of smell) is
       often linked with a deficiency in the mineral zinc.
       To boost your sense of smell, try eating zinc-rich
       foods, such as (oysters, lentils, sunflower seeds, pecans) and
       consider take a multivitamin
       supplement that contains at least 7 mg of zinc
       each day.[2]
       => 6 Exercise. Studies suggest that our sense of smell is
       sharper after exercise[5] so here's yet another reason to stay
       fit!
       =>7 Use a humidifier. Increased moisture in the air leads to
       increased moisture in your nose, which
       improves the sense of smell.[5]
       =>8 Stay away from stink . Prolonged exposure to bad smells
       tends to numb your ability to smell.
       =>9 When trying to identify a smell, take short,
       shallow sniffs rather than one long one. You will notice cats
       and dogs do this when they are
       initially smelling something. It increases your
       ability to pick up a scent.
       =>10 When shopping for foods, note that the best
       smelling items are, for the most part, what
       your body is craving . When purchasing food items, start
       selecting items that smell the best to
       you. Selecting a rye bread, for instance, and
       deciding on a cheese to go with it, can best be
       done by sniffing the aromas of the bread and the
       cheese and determining which combination has
       the optimal scent. Of course, what smells the best will be a
       reflection of what your body needs the
       most. Even smelling medicine or vitamin bottles
       can help you determine which scent is the best,
       and therefore, which medicine or vitamin your
       body needs the most. (However, please consult a
       doctor before taking any medicine or new vitamin regiment.) When
       considering shopping
       for the family, there will be a tendency for family
       members to crave the same food items when
       they are all doing similar exercises and eating
       similarly (i.e., a cardio family will have different
       taste preferences compared to a weight lifting family).
