Ageing, overweight, and respiratory infections can impair your sense of smell. However, a sufficiently high zinc intake from dietary sources or supplements can support or even improve the sense of smell – especially in older people and those who are overweight. This was shown in a study that is published in Rhinology. Unfortunately, zinc deficiencies are common due to poor diets and the use of various medical drugs that impair the body’s utilization of zinc.
