What we eat and drink can affect how our body smells. Various studies universities the world have shown that what we put our bodies changes our bodily smells. Researchers say that each of us has a unique pattern bodily odours. This is similar to the uniqueness a fingerprint. Lina Begdache, an assistant professor health and wellness at the State University of New York, said the odours our body gives off come two areas. One is the stomach, which is full bacteria. When these bacteria break down food, gases and chemicals are released our breath. Some of these gases can give us bad breath. The second area is the skin. Food can change the smell of bacteria our skin when we sweat.
Researchers say the foods that give the strongest smells contain sulphur. This chemical often creates a "bad-egg smell". Vegetables broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower contain a lot sulphur. Another food that affects how smelly we are is garlic. This is well known making our breath smell. However, researchers say it can make our armpit sweat smell nicer. Scientists also say drinks affect body odours. Alcohol can lead to stronger, unattractive bodily smells and bad breath. Caffeine coffee and tea creates chemicals that produce sweat areas our armpits and groin. If we want to smell a little sweeter, we should eat oranges, apples, parsley, and yoghurt, and drink water and green tea.
