women are in charge. the archipelago has had a patriarchal system for centuries and. the rare form of society. to women differently than. what they did with their work. and how sustainable this culture. leans over. starts marching on t.w. . good. hello and welcome to in good shape do you know the old saying that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach that it's very important to have the same educational background in

a marriage or even the same hobbies that's far from the truth because love is about something completely different. should you always follow your nose. can pheromones lead you to your soulmate. leandra and frank hope so they've each brought a sweaty t. shirt with them provided with the number it should now attract those willing to mate. i thought the idea was pretty cool i've never heard of anything like this i find it very exciting that smell can play a role in a relationship the best case or meet the love of my life. before getting to know each other participants take a smell test it takes perseverance and a little courage not every bag contains the right pheromones i may need a little sweat and a strange kind of smoke i'd probably suck

a. sweat instead of deodorant takes some getting used to you have to kiss a lot of frogs or smell a lot of t. shirts before you find the right one. if you like a scent you take the back to the photographer and. searching for a partner's through your nose may not be particularly romantic but it is efficient . for some very moans can lead to an interesting randi build but in the end it's not just your nose that decides whether or not it'll be love. today in the show it's all about our sense of smell and its role for health and our well being and the report you just saw was of calls produced before the corona and that. the virus and our sense of smell is a story of its own because covert 19 reduces all sense of smell and taste in about

80 percent of the patients and this itself is the reduction of all quality of life this is why we met up with us and he's looking at the bra. the lot still remembers everything about the evening that changed his life he'd gone to get pizza with his friends. he went home to eat and i realized that i was unable to taste anything and i didn't think anything of it 1st i think maybe it was just a lack of seasoning or that i just wasn't in the mood for pizza then i went to get something to drink and i realized i couldn't taste anything it was the same the next day and i realized something wasn't right. in march 2020 your not have been on a ski holiday where he did a few of his friends got the coronavirus while the others no longer had any symptoms after 14 days you're not still not regained his sense of taste or smell he's learned to cope as a beginning i'd be disappointed every morning when i went to the fridge and

realized i still couldn't taste anything but by now i've learned to live with it. and want to his family and friends say. most people didn't believe it 1st but it's some point they realized it really was the case because i started eating things i'd never eaten before because i didn't like the taste of brussels sprouts for example . they all believed me then. you an ass has even garnered something positive from losing his sense of taste before you got a whole load of junk food consuming sausages pizza and sweets almost every day he weighed over 100 kilos and here's how he looks today. he's down 34 kilos since losing his sense of taste he's now easing far more healthily widely used to hate vegetables now that he contests them he doesn't have a problem eating them. i barely eat any carbs anymore i eat a lot of protein rich foods like chicken and turkey if i do eat carbs it's mostly

rice with broccoli carrots or cucumber that's pretty much been my main so. of nutrition since mid march and so i no longer eat pizza or other really fatty things since i can't taste them anyway he didn't write any. only weakness in his french fries when he eats than he chased a little bit reminding him of how he used to enjoy the. best not the best thing neither one of pena's there really spicy i can still taste them a little better than most so that's why i like to eat them and among the homeless means if you're going to give. you an ounce actually sees himself as lucky. to get a few delighted in his new there are a lot of people who continue to suffer effects after the 14 days are up they have reduced lung capacity and can't do any sports anymore if you don't work and i don't think they can take it as easy as i can only missing

a small part of life on monday and they're missing quite a lot. most people who've had to cope with 1000 regained their sense of smell and taste after some time you'll naps wonders whether his taste for junk food will return. even in a common cold and if the sense of smell can be impaired and this is usually due to swollen mucus membranes. but the coronavirus is different because it directly affects our offertory cells in many patients the sense of smell returns after a couple of weeks but not in all so how can we treat it perhaps a special offer to retraining could be an option. and hina they like to eat fish sandwiches especially pickled herring served with a generous portion of money ends. but recently the pair hasn't been able to enjoy them as much as they used to after being infected with kovan 1000 they both lost their sense of smell. from the show fatty and it's

a bit bland if i can taste it sour but not really that it's pickled herring this map. i can only sense the onion through its crunchiness but i can't taste it. correctly me. research suggests the issue isn't primarily with a sense of taste many people who have had covert 19 experience impairments in their sense of smell this in turn influence the taste perception. during an infection the virus can destroy a factory cells in the mucous membrane in the nose the majority of them rebuild themselves quickly but some patients experience long lasting or even permanent smell loss just chance of going to it seems that around 10 percent plus or minus of those infected experience prolong smell was it's not necessarily a total loss but some do notice a change in their sense of smell of their covert 19 infections on acoustic.

researchers that kill university have undertaken a large scale study to monitor the long term effects on patients who have had the coronavirus. tech turpentine people who have already had the virus take part in the. research company faiza hopes to find out more about her lost sense of smell mine. to have. i think it's garlic that seems to be the closest to a variety of smell tests are used to determine the severity of the issue. the result could only recognize highly concentrated sense. believe that we're going to examine your nose are going to see your mucous membranes you know and see if there are any changes to those membranes zinj and in order to rule out other possible causes of the smell disorder they do a nasal endoscopy. you couldn't find. the could be scarring polyps could be growing or the mucous membranes could be inflamed and read. in mrs cases case the mucous

membrane looks good and has a very smooth surface that's what we like to see when we look inside the nose there are many nautical. figuring out the cause of a smell disorder isn't easy each smell contains many different molecules and each one has to find its corresponding smell receptor for our brain to recognise a particular scent. factory cells are destroyed by the coronavirus certain scent molecules don't find the right receptor. as a result an incomplete perception of a smell which is the brain and that can lead to taste smell confusion. recently i came out of the living room and we had freshly roasted coffee in the kitchen which smells really good. but bizarrely i thought what i smelled was gas you guys i'm going to. go off and. damaged factory cells in the mucous

membrane are not the only cause of smell disorders. animal trials have shown that viruses can enter the brain via the nerves attached to the factory cells. once there they disrupt the neurological process of recognising smells. but it is impossible to train the all factory sense studies have shown that simple exercises can lead to a noticeable improvement in the sense of smell patients sniff for heavily senate pens on a regular. basis the one of the server. patients hold them under their nose and sniffed and then try to perceive the scent. it's done in the morning and the evening. twice a day they should sniff them for around 10 to 15 seconds before. the pan smell like roses eucalyptus lemon and cloves participants can also create their own smell tests out of essential oils or intensive spices for example the particular scent is

an important. you know here i smell something but i couldn't tell you wasp. but that's not the point anyway the point is not to identify the sounds it's just to perceive them. in a school if there are smells you can't perceive you should still keep practising anyway that way you can train your brain and nasal passages creedon the possibility of new neural wiring which could help restore a functioning sense of smell. function your new option to indicate. here are you this one i can recognize. this could be eucalyptus. things are already improving for cough and high know. they hope the training will help their sense of smell return to normal in the near future. even unborn babies can smell without any air in the mother's womb and they learn what

their mothers preferences are practical although we humans have been significantly lower amount of cells compared to many animals we still can distinguish up to a trillion different sounds how this affects our health and our well being is topic of our today's talk with a part of me or. i'm near my dining mom luke has many questions such as how do our brains process the odors that we pick up around us and put our sense of smell be. used to discover diseases earlier he said neurobiologist specialized in all factions. professor and me a man danny as a scientist do you have a favorites now i brought one of them with me so in the small bottle and if you slip on it which you can't now it smells like strawberry which is a very fine orange and it's one of the most favorite runs across the world. so

everyone loves it and it's a very well kind of dinosaur order and because people already in the stone age where seeking collecting strawberries my 2nd favorite order and is that of mba so you can collect these stones and see area and if you try to wrap them smooth by the heating it exposing the smell of tree razan and these trees they were digested like 10000000 years 50000000 years ago so you can smell the engine trees from 50000000 years ago and this is very fascinating. certain smells can also suddenly awakened memories for example from our childhood why is that well the of factory system is connected to the so called episodic memory and this has a very strong behavioral impact so if we smell something we have immediately access

to all linked memories for example if you are in the seaside and the wind is coming from the seaside you smell the c.n. have all these beach memories that you might have ever experienced before but of the winds coming from the land side and you don't smell the sea you have a much weaker connection to these vivid memories if memories are so tightly bound with smells does the subconscious also play a role here it's assumed that the sense of smell is one of the latest census that got connected to our consciousness and so the impact is very strong in on the daily basis so like for instance if a bakery shop is baking fresh bread in store so this is a very nice experience the same as like when car dealers work with the smell of fresh leather or well like 90 percent made of plastic right so

it gives you a good feeling and might well you things up for your subconscious can we in this regard also use certain smells for our own well being it's the same trick basically so you work with these appears of a memory and if you have a very nice order and that helps you to relax that you inhale or smell while being very relaxed or in a very relaxed situations you can use this order and also to calm you down in a very stressful moment so for example if you have like a perfume that your regular area also exposed to while you. meditating you could choose this order and if you go to an exam and that might help you to calm down that's definitely a very interesting trait definitely to try and at the next time in your own research you're trying to develop an all factory in that part of the human sense of

smell. you want to have some kind of a test for the nose what could that be used for well you see if you take certain neurodegenerative diseases like pack ins and outs time out . there a lot of indications that in very early stages your factory system got infected and so the problem is that we do not have certain order tests that work very properly and then we hope that one day we can make. longer to do no experiments where we measure people in a very young age and then can see how the sense of smell of this person is progressing over time and this is then maybe the time where we learn about you know the reasons why of factory systems are so early affected

by these diseases like parkinson's and so the sounds of smile could potentially even be used for diagnosing diseases in the future a very interesting field thank you so much for this talk you're very welcome. pleasant sense can relax and brighten our mood this is what para p. is all about it triggers positive emotions in our brain but it can do more it can have positive effects on the healing process and this may help even cancer patients . can a romance really help people who are sick. bianca browner thinks they can she's a nurse at dresden university hospital on the ward for bone marrow transplant patients. the cancer patients often spend many weeks here.

and i've been working in specialized medicine for a long time and i've always felt something was missing from conventional treatment and that didn't and i came across aroma therapy you can affect the patient in a whole new way and offer them a different kind of attention to where you can achieve a lot more if you integrate the roma treatments the money just do the job mechanically and operate lies that. but can a romas really be taken seriously as a medical treatment professor hunt's hut from the rural university in boca says yes he's been researching the effects of aromas for decades. divison chaffed at the church and feel it out and a toy scientists have produced a lot of data that shows that this actually has an effect on the run for instance is strongly linked to memory and it starts in the rubric in sean even the embryos perceive the smell together with their mother so when the mother smiled whenever or

she's eating of remember cake she feels good maybe because of the reward of the sugar and the n.b.a. sense of gratitude but even before birth we're conditioned that vanilla is a fragrance with a positive association and it triggered something. positive remembering was the result last month. bianca boughner is preparing an ments with an essential oil this is a special mixture for patients whose lungs need extra support. to. live as a half hour put the child under here 1st if this is exactly why you comfortable. it should be awesome and rubbing in the oil and with the oil it's important that you breathe in and i was nice and deepest fears are als are. is this fungus that's pressure comfortable. so i didn't go on. the roping

has a stimulating effect on the deep active creeping read in and out deeply passionate and essential oils help you breathe deeply and cough up secretions if there are any . investment companies there are many uses for essential oils. confined have interested me has lavender for calming and to promote sleep and to relieve the patients anxiety we also use it for irritated drives and i avoid we can activate digestion with our 4 winds oil had it was given we can stimulate the powell especially an unconscious patients or patients who have been into patient for a long time on. the can we can also use our oil inhalation to prevent pneumonia and the oil mixture that can also help against long inflammation if used correctly thinking of good move. around oils also have a direct effect on the brain's emotional center via the sense of smell this helps

among other things in caring for people with dementia. women with mcduck and before you can use smell and touch to connect with dementia patients and you can awaken their. memories of experiences associated with smell and you can use that to calm them down to help them relax and make them feel safe because they feel like they know where they are. both the emotional and medicinal effects of the realm of therapy on the body can be a useful compliments to modern medicine. if doctors want to diagnose lung cancer they need laboratory work or an x. ray or c.t. scan or the dog. this guy's got a nose for lung cancer. giant bitsy has been specially trained to differentiate

between healthy breath samples and cancerous ones. something this electronic nose can also do artificial scent receptors detect the difference between healthy and diseased breath. the idea that you can recognise and diagnose illness by the smell of exhaled breath is actually very old. it goes back to have properties it's finally arrived in mainstream medicine in some areas it's even well established that you can verify certain illnesses with exhaled breath. among cancer is the 2nd most common cancer among men the 3rd most common among women it affects $50000.00 people a year in germany. but symptoms like coughing shortness of breath and weight loss only present in advanced cases. early lung cancer is also not visible on standard x. ray images so they're no good for early detection. but computer tama graph shows lung tissue mutations far more precisely it's

a useful tool in early detection of lung cancer but it can also give false positive results. because the immediate danger is from the anxiety that results from the findings. because you have to come in for a 2nd look. and in the end even with the close analysis with some patients who finally do undergo an operation some of them will leave with benign results after a totally unnecessary operation. that's why radiologists are working on improving diagnostics for those more at risk. smokers for instance or people with a family history of the disease the most important findings so far as most understand there has to be a system of follow up examinations over a period of many years this is the only way to rule out many of the disadvantages inherent in the screening process namely acting on the basis of false positive findings. researchers are also looking for other possibilities of early lung

cancer detection and this is where beauty comes in during a scientific study he learned how to sniff out cancer. there when it is in the log for a dog is able to identify traces of the sense point and i use. when he's learned how to hunt when we've conditioned him to and then he's able to detect even the tiniest traces of these illnesses those specific sense that the disease itself give will. for the study people with lung cancer and others in good health breathed through a fleece membrane which trapped particles of their breath. the dogs have to discriminate between the samples bitsy is trained to lie down if you detects a whiff of cancer. he and some of the others are very good at it. and yet what's fascinating is that when it works that the dog isn't influenced by

any environmental distractions it doesn't matter what someone is eating us or it doesn't matter how old the patient is the dog remains very focused. the research team has compared the canine knows with an electric one. this type of sent to sensor can be programmed to detect certain patterns in airborne substances even the electronic version has to be taught what to look out for. then it can determine whether or not a sample of breath contains the scent molecules of lung cancer. bantay cries points at a clue. when comparing the dog with an electric nose we can conclude that both work . of the electric nose is perhaps even a tad better because the dogs can be very temperamental maybe because of the dog's handlers mood or things we perhaps can't even comprehend that could have an influence on a dog. often one making lung cancer more visible and also sniffing it out

doctors are catching the threat and even earlier stages improving their chances of employing affective remedy. that's it for today's show what's your personal experience with saying write me about it and see what makes me and i'm to then let's all try to stay in good shape.
