Some foods can significantly increase the unpleasant smell of sweat.
If your diet contains a lot of foods rich in sulfur, this can lead to unpleasant body odor.
Sulfur smells like rotten eggs, and when it's released through sweat, it creates a foul odor, writes the Cleveland Clinic .
Examples of foods high in sulfur:
- onions, garlic, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower and red meat.
Doctors emphasize that food does not directly cause odor, but it affects how the body smells.
Some foods cause more sweating, which also increases the odor.
These products include:
- MSG, caffeine, spices such as curry or cumin, hot sauce and alcohol.
Eliminating or reducing these causes will help improve body odor.
To reduce sweating, keep your skin clean by showering with antibacterial soap daily.
If you experience frequent sweating even without physical activity, you should consult a doctor.
