Foods That Cause Body Odor (2)

Deodorant may be effective enough to cover the odor of the body, but some experts think the use of deodorants too often can give unfavorable effects. Changes in dietary pattern seems to be an alternative for you to reduce bad body odor.

The following are foods you should limit to prevent body odor and bad breath:

1. Dairy Products

Dairy products are also rich in protein, which when broken down in your stomach, causing hydrogen sulfide and methyl mercaptan which can lead to unpleasant odors.

2. Choline 

Choline-rich foods can make your sweat smell like fish. Some people, who can not digest these foods easily, "smells fishy". Examples of these foods are eggs, liver, fish, and nuts. 

3. Fried foods 

Fats and oils in fried foods and fatty foods become rancid over time, and can lead to poor digestion. It also causes bad body odor.

4. Tobacco  

Cigarette smoke that mixes with other elements and out through the sweat glands will cause some body odor. Even after quitting smoking, the smell will stay in your body within weeks.

5. Trimethylamine  

Some people have a genetic disorder known as trimethylaminuria. In this condition, the body is unable to break down amino acids, trimethylamine, which again produces fishy body odor. There are many foods that contain amino acids, such as seafood, fish oils, eggs, liver, milk, nuts, soy products, and broccoli.

To prevent body odor from these foods, there are several ways you can do, such as :

• Drink lots of water.
• Consumption foods that contain fiber and low choline fruits (apples, strawberries, oranges, grapes, tomatoes, pineapple, banana and watermelon).
