Modify diet to change body odor?!
Question:
Modify diet to change body odor?
Does anyone have any suggestions or experiences in changing odors of the body by eating differently.
For example curry will make a person smell like curry.
Fruit and sugar will make semen taste and smell sweet.
garlic will make a person smell like garlic.
What food makes us smell good? or what other modifications are there?
Answers:
Do certain foods affect body odor (B.O.)?
Body odor (B.O.) is caused by sweat mixing with bacteria living on the skin. While B.O. is therefore mainly a matter of personal cleanliness, foods can add to one's unpleasant odor in a few ways.
Hot drinks, caffeine, alcohol, and spicy foods can all cause excessive sweating. Since sweat and bacteria equate body odor, these can contribute to B.O. Some foods, such as garlic and onions, cause bad breath; still others, such as beans, contain sugars, starches, and insoluble fiber, which can cause flatulence. Although bad breath and flatulence are not technically B.O., they still stink.
The worst B.O.-inducing foods include anything hot and spicy, such as Mexican or Indian dishes, or foods loaded with carbohydrates. The worst liquid offenders are coffee and liquor.
Bottom Line: Eat these foods in moderation, use breath mints, brush your teeth twice a day (and floss), and bathe regularly.
