You know the famous saying “you are what you eat”? Well, this saying is so true; everything you eat reflects on you and your body. Try to start a healthy diet, and watch how your skin will change, it will look so radiant, and it will also smell so good. So, to help you have a great body odor and change your natural scent…
Citrus fruits
Citrus fruits have a big impact on the smell of your body; citrus fruits work on getting rid of the bad smells of the body and replace it with a fresh smell. Oranges, strawberries, pineapples, and apples all fall under the citrus fruits family, so feel free to choose your favorite fruit to eat to make your body smell great.
Lemon and water
Lemon and water when mixed together have amazing benefits; water alone is a major factor of a healthy and good smelling body. When you add lemon to it, which is a citrus fruit you’re only adding more benefits to the formula.
Apples
An apple a day may help keep the doctor away, but it’s just as likely to encourage friends and colleagues to get a little closer as they are a powerful ally in the fight against bad breath. This due in part to their natural detergent properties. Furthermore, when by biting into an apple, you’re pushing plaque away from your teeth as well as any food matter that could cause bacteria in the recesses of your mouth.
Celery
Nutritionally, there’s a lot to be said for celery. It’s high in fiber, and digesting it causes your body to work harder and expend more calories than most foods. It’s also a great source of vitamin K, folate, potassium and manganese.
Limes and Lemons
Packed with a good amount of vitamin C and electrolytes, lemons are also good for improving body odor according to White. He explains that these zesty citrus fruits have a “high antioxidant capacity and help detox the body as they are strong, acidic, and have disinfectant abilities.” Some people go as far as using this bacteria-killing juice topically and swipe their pits with a lemon directly.
Pineapple
Very little scientific study has gone into the effect of food on the taste of semen but the internet is rife with intel about pineapple’s sweetening effect on a man’s ejaculate. Considering fresh pineapple is pretty delicious on its own, we’re more keen believe the rumors.
Yogurt
Yogurt has probiotics that help with digestion and natural causes of body odor.
Green Leafy Vegetables
Spinach, lettuce, and kale are great for your health and good for oral hygiene. They keep your internal pH levels balanced and alkaline levels low, which in turn help prevent dry mouth, another cause of bad breath. Green leafy vegetables also contain a high amount of chlorophyll that acts as a natural deodorizer.
Green Tea
We’re already big fans of green tea because of the belly blasting catechins it contains but now we have even more reasons to love it: first off, green tea contains polyphenols. These are antioxidants that fight the growth of bacteria and also help reduce sulfur compounds that can improve breath. Green tea, like most teas, can stain teeth, however. Luckily, green tea extracts can be taken as a supplement, which has been proven to fight oral bacteria. While green tea is working on keeping your breath smelling fresh, brew up another, much larger batch and dunk your dogs in it. The tannic acids found in both green and black teas will help keep your feet dry, thus preventing the root of your foot odor problem: perspiration. As the tannins in tea are less drying than the acids in vinegar, you can try this remedy once a day.
Cinnamon
Besides helping with bad breathe because it reduces the bacteria in the mouth, cinnamon also helps the digestive system.
Fennel Seeds
A bad breath remedy in India is to chew on some fennel seeds. The act of doing so not only increases saliva that washes away bacteria from your mouth they also help neutralize offensive odors and aid digestion. But that’s not all: fennel oils have antibacterial properties as well, fighting germs that cause bad breath.
Strawberries
Like many other fruits, strawberries are high in water content and therefore can prevent dry mouth. But that’s not all; their high vitamin C content helps to create an environment hostile to bacteria and germs in the mouth. It also speeds up the healing process in the mouth, and boosts your immune system, too.
