People who exercised at least once a week—long enough to work up a sweat—decreased their risk of olfactory dysfunction, or issues with smelling, by about 24 percent. (Many people experience a decrease in whiff-ability as they age. In the study, 28 percent of folks experienced a decline over 10 years.)So what’s the link between sweating and sniffing? Your blood vessels may play a role. Regular exercise decreases the risk of atherosclerosis—when plaque builds up in your arteries—and healthy arteries may mean a better sense of smell, says study author Karen Cruickshanks, Ph.D.
Besides regular sweat sessions, you can keep your arteries clear by minimizing TV time. A new study from the Netherlands found that the longer people in their 30s spent planted in front of the TV each day, the stiffer their arteries. Researchers suggest keeping leisure screen time —that includes glaring at your laptop and tablet—to under 2 hours per day.

how interesting. my mom lost her sense of smell for a couple of years and then it came back. she was so glad. she always exercised and was slim and trim, so maybe another reason in her case.
Wishing you a magical Christmas season and all the good things in 2014! 🙂
