Description
Today we're going to talk about why the coronavirus causes the loss of smell.
Some coronavirus symptoms:
• Fever
• Tired
• Cough (dry)
• Shortness of breath
• Sore throat
Recently it has been found that there can be an additional symptom, and it's the loss of smell. The medical name for a loss of smell is "anosmia." You can also have a loss of taste.
What might cause this to happen?
There is a certain enzyme that's involved in your perception of smell and taste. It's called carbonic anhydrase 6. This essential enzyme for the sense of taste and smell is zinc-dependent. Big symptoms of a zinc deficiency are actually a loss of the sense of smell and a loss of the sense of taste.
I think the reason for the symptom of a loss of smell could be a zinc deficiency. When you go through an infection, especially in your lungs, you use up a lot of zinc. Zinc is not stored that well in the body. So, unless your constantly consuming zinc, chances are you're going to be zinc deficiency. On top of that, with an infection, you could be even more zinc deficient.
