How To Take The Headache Out Of WHAT CAUSES BODY ODOR AND HOW TO GET RID OF IT IN 7 STEPS

"Damn, I stink!"

We got it. It happens to all of us: bad B.O.

But just about any B.O. The kind that tear up our nostrils and make us take a step back. And what's worse, when others get a whiff of our scent neutrals.

As we lead busy lives – navigating the jungle of work, the gym, after-work events and concrete, none of us can afford a bad B.O. And even if you spray some on first thing in the morning, by lunchtime you'll be reaching into your top desk drawer for that emergency roll-on.

So, how can you avoid raiding your back-up deodorant and erasing any evidence on your precious shirt?

We've put together this short article so you can understand what's going on in those little dark crevices...commonly known as your "pits" and you're in between those nostrils. What can be done to extinguish the breath, strong smell from the nose!

There are two main types of sweat glands: Apocrine glands, which secrete your own unique 'personal scent' or pheromones, secrete odorless oily sweat in areas of the body where hair follicles are abundant - mostly the armpits and groin area; and eccrine glands that secrete a thin saline fluid that is distributed throughout the body (1).

As the sweat glands secrete sweat, bacteria around the hair follicles begin to break down the skin's oils, proteins, and keratin into ammonia and fatty acids, which give off a characteristic odor. Body odor produced by apocrine sweat is the strongest odor and is often described as pungent, musty, misty or 'sweet and sour'.

Sweat from the eccrine glands can also take on an unpleasant odor after eating certain foods (spices), alcohol and drugs.

The apocrine glands are also very sensitive to adrenaline and so during times of stress, you may sweat more due to their overstimulation (3).

Males have higher activity of apocrine glands than females and therefore increased body odor associated with increased activity of these glands. Sweat gland activity decreases so you may sweat less as you age (4).

We have put together 7 tips to get rid of body odor.

Keep yourself clean. Shower at least once a day - this will wash away old sweat and reduce the number of odor-causing bacteria.

Use antibacterial soaps: Try using soaps or shower gels that contain natural antimicrobial ingredients like tea tree oil (5). You can add a few drops of these oils to your regular soap and shower gel to increase the antibacterial effect.

Dry thoroughly: Dry thoroughly after bathing, especially on areas that sweat. Dry skin makes it harder for bacteria to grow.

Trimming or shaving: Trimming or shaving the hair in the armpits and groin area can help reduce body odor associated with apocrine sweating. But keeping these areas clean can be just as effective.

Keep your clothes clean and dry If you sweat a lot, change and try not to wear the same clothes the next day, especially socks! If you have a problem with foot odor, try to walk around the house barefoot as much as possible.

Foods and drinks that reduce sweating: Certain foods and drinks can make you sweat more, such as spicy foods, high salt or sodium intake, caffeine and alcohol (7). Although sweat itself has little odor, aromas from foods like onions and garlic can find their way into sweat - so don't overdo it!

Use a natural deodorant: Most antiperspirants and supermarket brand deodorants are full of chemicals. However, you can use a natural deodorant that keeps your body odor under control without harmful side effects.
