Nearly 4 of every 5 CoVid patients recover their olfactory, that is smell, and their gustatory, that is taste, senses within 6 months after their infections.  ENT researchers at Virginia Commonwealth University surveyed 798 CoVid patients over a 6 month period and tabulated the conditions and patient characteristics associated with recovery.

The recovery of smell and taste began rapidly with more than half recovering by 14 days after infection, two-thirds by one month, three-quarters by 3 months, and nearly 80% by 6 months.  At 6 months, recovery was most complete for those under 40 at 83% compared with 75% for those over 40.  Recovery was higher for those with the symptomatically mildest cases at 82% vs those with the most symptoms at 71%.

Those suffering with smell and taste loss several months following their CoVid infections should take heart and be patient, since they are statistically likely to recover.  Prevention, though, is best, so don’t pass up the opportunities to be vaccinated or, if already vaccinated, boosted.

Aerobic exercise triggers muscles to secrete proteins called myokines, and myokines help to suppress cancer growth in two ways: directly and immunologically.  Australian exercise biologists studied this phenomenon both clinically in 10 prostate cancer parents and in the lab as they studied the growth of a prostate cancer cell line in tissue culture

The cancer patients participated in a 12 week exercise program. Blood samples were collected from each patient before the initiation of exercise and as the program progressed.  The cells and serum from these blood samples were applied directly to the prostate cells, and the myokine-containing blood gathered during active training slowed the growth of the prostate cancer cells.  The myokines in that blood also triggered T killer lymphocyte activity, and these activated white cells finished off the already weakened cancer cells.

The take home: working out at the gym rather than laying around in bed will help you knock out cancer.
