2. Getting Rid of Body Odors
You are what you eat
The number one factor in the average person’s odor is FOOD. There is a direct correlation between the quality of food that you eat and your resulting body-odor as the food is processed and distributed throughout your body for energy. Spend just one day drinking nothing but water and staying away from fats and sugars and you will notice a big difference.
That being said, there are other possible causes of bad body odor including kidney and liver disease, fungal infections and poor hygiene. If you suspect a medical problem is at the root of your odor then go and see your doctor.
Tips for Getting Rid of Body Odor
- Stay away from refined sugar - it feeds bacteria and will increase your body odor many times over.
- Go for a jog or sit in a sauna. You’ll be stinking it up at first, but after a while you’ll flush out your pores and notice that your sweat no longer stinks.
- Anti-perspirants work to reduce odor, but they do so by clogging your pores and locking the odor-causing toxins and bacteria underneath the skin. This can lead to underarm cysts and pimples.
- If all else fails, spot wash with soap and water.
- Try and stay cool, sweat is a transmitter of the odor.
- Apply an absorbent powder such as baby powder to your underarms after bathing.
- A baking soda+water paste applied to the areas of smelliness can help neutralize existing odor.
- Alcohol and tobacco are known to contribute to foul body odors - cut back on the day of your big date.

This thing is very bad for me because i get paranoid if there are people talking with each other like the time when i was in a computer shop or internet cafe this guy passed me and sprayed me an air refreshner….but the catch is that id on’t know if i was the person who smells…do you think that a person with BO can smell his or her BO?please answer…T_T
I just started High School and this barely started in 8th grade for me. I dun’t know how it started cuse i did the exact same things in 7th grade and still nothing happened but when it came to eight grade it went CRAZY. i have anti presperatioon & deodeant. i use almost all the kinds they have in stores. the one that worked the best was the sports secret one. but it didn’t stop it completely ethier, and then i dried certain dry, it doesn’t work ethier. I tried adding powder every morning and night and that still doesn’t work. I hate this because theres a lot of kids in a class so we have to sit closer to make space and if i have ordor its so embarrasing! Also during P.E everyone has to stretch so you have to lift your arms and im afraid because its all wet D: please help me!
i only started to get b.o in grade 8 and i am still getting it up till now. i am 16….the problem with me is that i sweat unnecessarily. when i am walking normally i sweat. when i am next to people i sweat. the only place i do not sweat is at my house. that is the reason i hate sunny days. i have looked at the tips. the only thing there i have not tried is drinking alot of water so i am going to try it…. i hope it works
this is a good way of getting rid of body odor after you take a nice long bath apply some fresh lemon it works wonders
i just started high school a few weeks ago and i sweat ALOT especially in gym and i start to smell. I’ve tried alot of diffrent deoderants but they don’t really work for me. My real friends don’t let it bother them but everyone else notices and makes jokes about it. I even am around alot of people who do also but i don’t point it out because it’s embarassing. I reaaalllllyyy want a way to make it stop so hopefully this works because i would love to make it through high school sweat and smell-free.!
If you have the condition where you sweat a lot then listen up.!!!!
I have this condition and I hear sage tea works magic by calming the nerves which send signals to the sweat glands. So Google search excessive sweat and sage tea for info and recipe…. something like one tea spoon of dried sage and one cup of water real simple……by the way I’m a teen and know how bad this disease sucks (it is a disease talk to your doctor)
i hate when i go to school and i sweat. the thing that really bothers me is that i think i have b.o but i cant smell anything. i might get hints of the smell here and there. i get really perinoid because when i go to school i here people talking but it sounds like there saying “smell” but i dont know. i not ugly but im ok.im confused. Becauae if i did smeel i wouldnt have preety friends, but i do. i have 8 best friends that have came over to my house. how do i really no if i smell?
I have always sweat perfusely under my arms since high school. I used to have to change my shirt during my shift at work too. Last summer I found an anti persperant at Wal-Mart called Certain Dry. It really works. I could be sweating every where but my pits would stay dry. As to the people that say take a shower to get rid of the smell. It doesn’t work like that for everyone.
How i get rid of body odor is every morning , when i get up (around 9 or 10 ) i get limes out of my fridge and cut out a small peice of it and rub it in my pits, i recommend that you cut out 2 pieces and use one for each arm . this method lasts up to 10 hours. for me it lasts up to 10 am at night, (it actually depends on when you apply the lime juice). Hope this article works for you guys!
i try everything to keep myself smelling fresh but it never works.
I shower when i wake up, and i even wash with a loofah spoonge, when i get back from school, i take a long soak with a cocoa butter scrub. and i still end up smelling. my friends noticed that i started smelling more. The smell started when i was in grade 7, and it just kept getting worse.
