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).    

If you can change your dietary pattern, you no longer need to worry about body odor that has been bothering you. Hopefully useful! Don't forget to follow Beautiful Ala Indonesian on twitter or facebook fan page. Thank you!

Foods That Cause Body Odor (1)

1. Spices

Spices with a strong aroma when ingested generally will produce sulfur gas that is absorbed by the blood and eliminated through the lungs and skin pores. This causes bad breath and body odor. Examples of these foods are garlic, onion, and curry.  

2. Red meat

It took a long time to digest red meat. When food is not digested properly, toxic and malodorous gas is released which is the cause of the smell of sweat. A study published by the Chemical conclude, women judge a man who doesn't eat red meat more fun, more interesting, and have less body odor problems than men who eat red meat.

Although the consumption of alcohol and caffeine (coffee, tea, chocolate, soda, etc.) has become a habit, by limiting the drink, your body will feel more fresh and odorless.

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

Benefits of Green Tea (Preventing Hepatitis)

Benefits of green tea for health and beauty of the body was no doubt. This time I want to share information about the benefits of green tea as an antidote to hepatitis C.

Flavonoids contained in green tea can prevent hepatitis C virus (HCV) into liver. Researchers from Germany revealed epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) contained in green tea can prevent the entry of HCV after liver transplantation (liver replacement).

Sandra Ciesek and Eike Steinmann from the Hannover Medical School in Germany investigated the effects of EGCG in preventing HCV molecules attached to the liver cells. "Green tea catechins such as EGCG and its derivatives, namely epigallocatechin (EGC), epicatechingallate (ECG) and epicatechin (EC) showed antiviral properties," said Ciesek. Their research explores the potential effects of flavonoids in preventing HCV reinfection after liver transplantation.

The researchers found that EGCG can inhibit HCV cell entry by acting on host cells as a protector. Pretreatment of cells with EGCG did not reduce infection, but can inhibit the spread of HCV.

Ciesek said, "EGCG in green tea inhibit HCV cell entry".   

HCV infection can lead to chronic hepatitis or primary liver cancer. According to WHO data, the disease affects 170 million people around the world. Meanwhile this. standard treatment that being applied is the use of interferon with ribavirin and protease inhibitors. But unfortunately, this way can only remove the infection in a minority of patients. Patients generally have not been able to respond to this therapy. 

Hopefully the information about the benefits of green tea as an inhibitor of hepatitis C is helpful.  Don't forget to follow Beautiful Ala Indonesian on twitter or facebook fan page. Thank you!

Effects of Smoking (Disrupt Hearing)

Effects of Smoking (Disrupt Hearing) - Adverse effects of cigarette smoke to health is irrefutable, both in those who smoke and those exposed to secondhand smoke. Recent research on the effects of smoking shows teens that exposed to secondhand smoke have nearly twice the risk of hearing loss.

Researchers from New York University School of Medicine analyzed more than 1,500 young people aged 12-19 years who participated in a national nutrition research in 2005-2006.

Participants underwent blood tests to measure levels of chemicals called continine, a fractional form of nicotine. The teenagers also examined the function of hearing.

The results showed that teenagers who smoke or are exposed to secondhand smoke are more likely to have hearing loss associated with cochlear problems. The cochlea is the hearing organ that serves to send messages to the hearing nerves and brain.

"This is the type of hearing loss that usually occurs due to aging or experienced by children who born with congenital deafness," said Dr. Michael Weitzman who publishes his research in the journal Archives of Otolarygonology.   

Other researchers, Dr. Anil Lalwani, judge, the facts about cigarette smoke that can cause hearing loss among teenagers has implications for public health.

While Dr Ralph Holme of UK Charity Action on Hearing Loss, expressed the need for more research on the effects of smoking and its relation to hearing loss to prove a causal relationship between smoking and hearing loss.  

"But, as a precaution and protection for your child's hearing, it is recommended to avoid smoking around them," he said.

Effects of Smoking (Make Stupid)

Effects of Smoking (Make Stupid) - Smoking not only causes heart disease, lung cancer, and impotence. Recent research has shown other effects of smoking, which can make you stupid.

The study, led by Severine Sabia from the University of London, Department of Epidemiology and Public Health studied health data from 5.099 men and 2.137 women.

To assess the association of smoking with cognitive decline, researchers reviewed the report by using six assessment of participants' smoking status for 25 years and three assessments of cognitive tests that collected for 10 years.

Findings that published in Archives of General Psychiatry found that male smokers had a faster mental decline than non-smokers. While smokers who had quit for at least 10 years before the first assessment of the cognitive tests, still showed significant cognitive decline.

"Male smokers aged 50 years showed a similar cognitive decline to male non-smokers aged 60 years," said Sabia.

Nevertheless, the researchers found no relationship between smoking and cognitive decline in women. Sabia added that it could happen because women in this age group are smoking less than men.

"Our results suggest a link between smoking and cognitive decline, especially in older men," said the researchers. 

So, after finding out that the effects of smoking can make you stupid. Are you going to continue that habit?
