Into the book
When we first perceive an odor molecule through the olfactory receptors in the nasal mucosa, it travels to the olfactory bulb, a part of the brain just behind the forehead bone, where the identity of the odor is determined and the odor is stored in the brain associated with emotion and memory.
Through this process, when you smell that smell again, the emotions and memories associated with that smell are immediately recalled.
--- p.19
The sense of smell is very sophisticated and accurate.
Humans have about 400 olfactory receptors, allowing them to accurately distinguish tens of thousands of smells.
Because olfactory disorders usually develop gradually, many people live without knowing that their sense of smell is impaired.
--- p.20
Because symptoms of poor sense of smell can appear several years before dementia occurs, it is recommended to have your sense of smell tested regularly every year after the age of 65.
In 2024, Professor Pinto of the University of Chicago in the United States stated that if the decline in smell progresses rapidly in three or more olfactory tests conducted at regular intervals, there is a high possibility of cognitive impairment and dementia.
When olfactory impairment occurs in an elderly person over 65 years of age without dementia, it means that neurodegenerative changes are occurring in the brain.
Regular olfactory tests can tell you how quickly your sense of smell is declining, which can indirectly tell you how high your risk of dementia is.
--- p.96
There are also reports that when dementia patients were given 40 scents to smell twice a day for 15 days, their depression was reduced and their cognitive function improved.
This provides evidence that specific olfactory training can improve cognitive function in dementia patients and have a positive effect on the brain's ability to think in an integrated manner.
--- p.105
People cannot live without breathing.
Although we know that breathing is the most basic and important function for sustaining life, many people are unaware of the importance of the nose, the first gateway to breathing.
People are generally more concerned with the appearance of their nose than with its important functions.
Although the nose is only 7 to 8 centimeters long from front to back, it plays a very important role in maintaining respiratory homeostasis.
Even in the cold Arctic or dry desert, our bodies can survive and stay healthy even when we breathe cold, dry air, thanks to our nose.
As explained earlier, the nose raises the temperature of the air to over 30 degrees and the humidity to over 80 percent as the air from outside passes through the nose.
Healthy lungs are maintained thanks to the nose's ability to regulate temperature and humidity.
--- p.132
To relieve dryness of the nasal mucosa, it is helpful to develop good habits in your daily life.
First, avoid drinks with a lot of caffeine, such as coffee, black tea, green tea, oolong tea, Bacchus, and energy drinks.
Second, drink warm barley tea or corn tea often.
Third, wash your nose thoroughly with saline solution and turn on a humidifier when you sleep at night.
Through this process, when you smell that smell again, the emotions and memories associated with that smell are immediately recalled.
