sense of smell

[Guest guest]



hello all,

since I have become vegan, eating more healthy food and eating less food in general. It seems my sense of smell has gotten much stronger. I can smell things and taste things so much easier. I can smell when my towels or sponge in the kitchen start to smell too wet and need to be washed or changed. I can smell things in grocery stores and restaraunts that I haven't been aware of before. Sometimes they don't smell very good either! I can smell lotions and shampoos on other people.

Has anyone else had this happen before?

I suspect that is true for me. I haven't really noticed a better

sense of smell but considering taste and smell are closely related,

I'd say so. My tastes have changed immensely and I find foods more

flavorful. I can taste individual ingredients in foods now. I

couldn't do that before.

I've been vegan for decades, so I don't recall, but I do seem to

be more sensitive to smells than almost anyone else around me.
