It's not at all about not eating raw garlic, because of which we have such a strong bad breath that it can't be stopped either by brushing our teeth or mint lollipops.
It is implied that the chosen food affects the smell of the human body. Yes, due to some products, the sweat we secrete can acquire a sharp and unpleasant smell.
Can food cause body odor?
Can food be the cause of unpleasant body odor? Yes, it really is. Often we don't even suspect it. We shower twice a day, change socks. But we have the impression that in our case neither deodorant nor toothpaste want to cope with their duties.
This is due to the fact that the unpleasant smell does not come from specific places, but from the skin pores of the entire surface of the human body.
At the same time, it is necessary to keep in mind that there are products that increase the acidity of sweat. It is because of this that our body has an unpleasant smell. Thus, the appearance of repulsive acidic sweat is caused by disturbances in the balance of organic chemistry processes in our body. This usually happens when we do sports or are in motion.
Inside the body of each of us there are toxins. They are removed in different ways. Most toxic substances leave our body with feces, urine, exhaled air, and then.
When we don't eat properly or eat a lot of foods that increase acidity, the risk that our body will begin to emit an unpleasant pungent odor increases. Why? The fact is that in this case he has to work harder in order to properly remove all toxins.
What food causes an unpleasant smell?
It is quite possible that your body continues to smell unpleasant even despite careful hygiene and regular showers. Maybe it is worth looking for the reason in the food eaten for dinner the night before?
We assure you, in this case neither clean clothes, nor French perfume, nor shoe polish will help.
Would you like to know which food increases bad body odor? Now you will learn about it.
Red meat
A very interesting study was organized by Charles University in Prague.
Specialists collected sweat samples from men who eat red meat and vegetarians. After that, a group of women had to analyze these samples and determine which ones they found most repulsive.
It turned out that the sweat with the most unpleasant smell belonged to men who ate red meat.
Garlic
First of all, it should be noted that garlic causes bad breath. But that's not all: in some people, garlic also makes body odor repulsive.
An indispensable ingredient in many delicious dishes, garlic contains volatile substances that can be released with sweat. When these substances enter the blood and lungs, our skin and breath acquire an unpleasant odor.
Hydrogenated oils
Such oils are used in the production of fast food. They are quickly broken down by our body. Therefore, as soon as you eat your burger (don't forget that, in addition to such oils, it contains meat), the smell of your body will not change for the better.
At the same time, it does not matter whether you are sitting or resting, your sweat becomes greasy and acquires an unpleasant smell. Very often, in addition to burgers, such a lunch includes a portion of French fries, in the preparation of which hydrogenated oils are used.
Curry
Aromatic spices such as curry and cumin give unforgettable taste notes to our dishes, but at the same time they are "enemies" of personal hygiene.
Therefore, if you sing in an Indian restaurant before exercising, your sweat will be sharper, and the unpleasant smell will remain even after you take a shower.
Alcohol
Alcoholic drinks do more harm than good. Quite often it turns out that the unpleasant aroma of a hangover after a party accompanies us even after we visit the shower.
Alcohol enters the bloodstream, leaving our body along with breath and sweat. This explains the fact that an alcoholic party makes itself known for so long, even if we try to keep it a secret.
Sausages
As for sausages, this situation resembles what happens with meat and fast food. Maybe you are a fan of sausages and pate? In this case, you don't have to look far for the culprit of your problem. When such food is digested, the acidity of the stomach increases and gases appear.
Therefore, if it seems to you that recently your sweat smells unpleasant, it will be better to refuse such food.
Asparagus
Asparagus is tasty and healthy. It is worth noting that this product does not cause the appearance of repulsive sweat. But as for urine, the latter can acquire a sharp smell due to asparagus. The reason for this is that asparagus contains mercaptan sulfur.
Fish
For many of us, the unpleasant smell of fish is associated with the section of the supermarket where fresh seafood is displayed. Processed fish does not have an unpleasant smell. And how does our body react to fish? It should be borne in mind that eating fish can also affect our body odor.
It is very important to note that this does not apply to all people, but only to those of us who suffer from such an inborn metabolic disorder as trimethylaminuria (fishy smell syndrome).
This problem disrupts the digestion of fish, making it harder for our bodies to eliminate toxins.
Cabbage
Cabbage and broccoli are favorites of many people. These vegetables are indispensable components of many recipes. At the same time, these products contain sulfur, which can lead to the appearance of an unpleasant smell.
The latter refers to gases that acquire a disgusting smell, reminiscent of a rotten egg.
If you like cabbage, there's nothing wrong with enjoying it from time to time. Such products contain many useful antioxidants and nutrients.
Coffee
Maybe you can't imagine a morning without a fragrant cup of hot coffee? Maybe you drink coffee several times during the working day.
In this case, coffee itself can be the culprit of unpleasant body odor, which does not disappear even when we wash and change clothes.
It should be remembered that caffeine has a stimulating effect on the sweat glands, as a result of which we sweat.
Onion
Apparently, onions are as necessary an ingredient in any kitchen as garlic. At the same time, we must not forget that onions can be the cause of bad breath and skin. This is especially true when we eat onions fresh.
The oils contained in the onion enter our blood, are filtered by the lungs and are released with the breath.
