Nose Health Issues: The nose is a very important part of our body, which helps us to breathe, smell and speak. But do you know that the nose also gives many types of information about health. A new study shows that a decrease in your ability to smell can be a sign of at least 139 or even more serious medical conditions.

In fact, this has been revealed in a study published in Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience. These diseases include Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, heart disease, COVID-19 and others.

The nose tells about the state of health

According to the study, if we are unable to smell or perceive the fragrance of something, then it can be a symptom of many diseases. For example, people who have Parkinson's disease, their ability to smell decreases. On the other hand, if you have Alzheimer's, then you may have problems in focusing, in which the nose can also be affected. 

what does the study say

Another research has found a connection between smell and inflammation. According to the study, when researchers looked at all 139 medical conditions associated with a loss of smell, all of them also involved some form of inflammation. Michael Lyons, author and professor emeritus of the Charlie Dunlap School of Biological Sciences at the University of California, Irvine, said that increasing the ability to smell can improve the memory of adults by up to 226 percent.
