Okay, so this doesn’t necessarily mean we are all a little bit psychic thanks to our sense of smell.
But according to scientists, it’s believed older adults can smell just how many years they may have left.
As researchers published in a 2014 study, they “sought to determine if olfactory dysfunction is a harbinger of 5-year mortality.”
What they discovered was that a loss of smell “is an even stronger predictor of when a person will likely die.”
