Combined sleep and smell signs linked to Parkinson’s marker

A spinal-fluid test was positive in 94% with a confirmed dream-enactment sleep disorder and reduced smell, versus 40% with the disorder but no reduced smell.A spinal-fluid test was positive in 94% with a confirmed dream-enactment sleep disorder and reduced smell, versus 40% with the disorder but no reduced smell.

Healthy plant-rich diets linked to better olfactory function

In a cross-sectional study of 6,690 adults, healthy plant-rich eating patterns and specific foods like fruits and vegetables tracked with lower rates of hyposmia.In a cross-sectional study of 6,690 adults, healthy plant-rich eating patterns and specific foods like fruits and vegetables tracked with lower rates of hyposmia.
