KEEPING YOUR BODY ODOUR FREE


So what is Body odour really all about? The following article includes some fascinating information about Body odour--info you can use, not just the old stuff they used to tell you.



Body odour is the unpleasant spell caused by the mixing of perspiration, or sweat, and bacteria on the skin. Sweating or perspiration is the body’s way of relieving heat from within the body. Sweat is generally an odourless body secretion; however, the skin surface provides nutrients that help bacteria grow. These bacteria break down sweat into aromatic fatty acids, which produce the unpleasant odour. The concentration and number of bacteria vary in different parts of the body, the maximum being in parts like the scalp, armpits, genital areas and the feet.



ESSENTIAL TIPS ON MAINTAINING FRESHNESS


It is note worthy that body odour is often due to poor personal hygiene, but excessive perspiration is sometimes involved. Regardless of the cause, the need to cultivate the following habits is priceless.

1. Change Your Diet: This is perhaps the most neglected area in treating body odour. The only real long-time treatment will come from good hygiene, internal cleansing, elimination, and proper diet. Eat more fruits and vegetables and take less meat and dairy products. Drink lots of water.



2. Quiet The Diet: Certain foods will give you more sweat e.g. Chili, red hot pepper, coffee and nicotine. The aroma of certain pungent foods could also be carried in your sweat e.g. onion, garlic and beer. Cut down on these foods.

3. Keep Your Body Clean: Wash with soap daily; particularly your armpits, groin, and feet, where there are many sweat producing glands. If you sweat a lot, you may need to bath two or more times a day. Epson salts bath, alternate cold and hot showers daily will improve the blood circulation and reduce congestion in the body.

4. Use Antiperspirants And Deodorants Daily: Preferably, deodorants
with aluminum or Zinc, as these metals kill odour-causing bacteria. Note however, that to keep yourself odour free you need to maintain cleanliness of yourself first.Shave your armpits at least once in two weeks.

5. Wash Clothes Thoroughly; particularly clothing exposed to sweaty
areas such as cocks, underwear, and shirts. Never wear yesterday’s
cloths no matter how clean your body is.

Wear natural fiber cloths: e.g. Cotton. Avoid wearing synthetic and
tight fitting clothes.

Hey Gina! I saw your comment about Dr. Uduehi’s medication concerning Fibroid sometime ago and you were right, I tried it and it worked like magic for me. It was like hell living with FIBROID all this years until now, no more pains, bleeding and no miscarriage and I would've come with my testimony before now but I have to wait for a couple of months to see if it will regrow again but there's still no sign of fibroid, I also went to the hospital for test and still i was tested negative. All thanks to Dr. Uduehi and to you too Gina. And for anyone out there who wish to try can reach the doctor through: (+2347084878384) uduehiherbalcare@gmail.com
