An early sign of Alzheimer’s disease can be noticed while taking a shower: what should you look out for?

Non-food odors: soap, leather, lilac, smoke, gas, rose
Food odors: cherry, clove, strawberry, menthol, pineapple, lemon

Repeated difficulty recognizing several of these odors – particularly a familiar fragrance like soap – may warrant a discussion with your doctor, especially if other subtle signs concern you (memory lapses, disorientation, loss of interest, etc.).

Moral? Showering isn’t just a moment of relaxation… it could also become a silent alert about the state of our brain.
