Nothing is sexier to than stinky, sweaty, smelly musk. Wait.. maybe not. hmmmm...

2. Getting Rid of Body Odors

You are what you eat

eatingThe 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 (For more uses of baking soda, read 75 extraordinary uses for 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. For more information regarding this article, read how to remedy body odor.

    This works great for getting rid of stinky feet / shoes, so I am almost certain it will work for your problem too. Try soaking in some tea. Just the regular like lipton ice tea works well for me.

    As I understand it the tea kills the bacteria on you. I don’t know why anti-bacterial soaps don’t accomplish the same thing but they seem lacking compared to the tea. Good Luck!

    Switch your caffinated beverages i.e coke, dr pepper, rock stars, starbucks coffee to something with ginsing or other natural energy givers such as protien simple and complex amino acids… caffiene and taurine are leaders in not only bad breath but stinky armpits etc

    I have a terribly bad funky armpit odour, like cockroach smell, so I need deodorant. however not just any deodorant, because I don’t want it to clog up my skin or give me bad smell afterwards. I’ve been using UARMSOL deodorant for many years now and I have no more armpit odours. Even when I sweat I don’t have any odours, this deodorant works great and I’m loving it. I can’t go out in the day without putting it on. Even when I sweat my armpits don’t have any smell. I applied 1 pinch and it’s all to it for the whole day without worries about any smell afterwards. There’s no after sport smell or odour masking. I would recommend it to anyone who has underarm odour.

    Im quite young n i get teesed at skwl so if u wash n shower daily wash every morning and shower every evening. Once in shower exfoliate any where ur sweating. If this fails put telcom powder or baby powder under arms then let it absorb into the skin. Hope this helps :) xx

    Lucy,you are not alone and God knows what you are going through. He said He will never leave you nor forsake you but He will be with you always. I know it is difficult but soon if you have not yet received help, it will come to you soon. I see your desperation but don’t give up,help is on the way. You are not alone. Try the baking soda paste tip over your deoderant, let it dry and see if that works Or try the white vinegar diluted in water. Just try different things and if all fails, check your doctor to see if he/she can prescribe a medicated deoderant for you.
    God bless you Lucy.

    I’ve never used anything better than organic LIME JUICE. It’s cheap, easy and super effective. Squeeze a little fresh lime juice in your palm, apply it to a clean, dry armpit and wa-la!!! You’ll be good to go all day.
