3. Drink More Water
We develop body odor due to the toxins found in the bloodstream. These toxins excrete in perspiration and produce your body odor. It’s for this reason that you can smell garlic from your pores the day after eating a meal containing the bulbous herb.
Drinking more water flushes toxins from the body, and keeps your odor from becoming unbearable. If you’ve ever sat next to someone on a plane, train or bus and noticed they have an overpowering, pungent smell, it’s because they probably don’t drink enough water. Water keeps the body moving, and it’s an essential means of controlling your body odor.
Doctors recommend that we have an average intake of two liters of water every day for optimal health. However, if it’s hot outside, you may need to increase the amount of your drinking, especially if you spend time in the sun. While drinking more water isn’t a topical ointment that reduces your body odor, it minimizes the bacteria and toxins that excrete through your skin causing the foul smell.
