When is your sense of smell the weakest?
A woman's sense of smell is much stronger than a man's. Her sense of smell is also more sensitive in the first half of the menstrual cycle and reaches its peak when she is most fertile and sexually responsive. Scent plays a critical role in our sexual function. Our sense of smell is weakest in the morning, and the ability to perceive odors increases throughout the day. Approximately 80% of what we taste is actually attributed to our sense of smell. Our sense of taste is limited to five distinct sensations: salty, sweet, bitter, sour and savory. All the flavors we taste are actually determined by our sense of smell. That's the reason why our food tastes bland during a cold for example. Our sense of smell and taste naturally declines as we age. Our sense of smell peaks when we are in our late teens and then begins a gradual decline. People who have an impaired ability to smell, and therefore taste, tend to follow diets that are less healthy. Prolonged exposure to foul smells can impair your ability to smell. If you are exposed to noxious odors (such as cleaning solutions or petroleum products) on a prolonged basis, wear a mask over your nose and mouth to filter out the smell.
