Body odour is a normal phenomenon that affects everybody. As long as there is life, there is tendency for one to have body odour and smell if one does not take care of his/her body. People wake up as early as possible in the morning to begin their daily activities. Body odour is as important as eating because nobody will like to associate with something or somebody that stinks.
What you need to know
- There are two different Sweat gland : they are called the eccrine and aprocrine glands. Eccrine glands are all over the body and produce watery sweay to keep the body cool. Aprocrine glands are located where hair follicles are concentrated like the groin, armpit and scalp. THE SWEAT THERE IS WAXY AND FATTY from the lipids they secrete.
-Your Hair can enhance the Odour : The sweat from the apocrine glands does not create the smell. It is the stench-causing bacteria that creates the smell. The bacteria causing the stench happens to be attracted to the sweat. The bacteria breaks down the fats then the bad aroma surfaces. The more hair you have, then the more surface area bacteria has to cling to which keeps the smell smelly.
-Food affect Body Smell : The common garlic,onions are body odour stimulators that can worsen body odour.( Avoid them if you have body odour).
Stress produces more Sweat : Am sure you have seen people with drenched armpits even before they begin the days activity.
Overwashing can make it worse :Using anti-bacterial soaps to wash smelly part of the body is good and essential. But dont over do it.
