True, most people know that men sweat more than women and that they are the worst offenders. Sweaty armpits are usually a minor nuisance compared to body odors that are never pleasant and more unpleasant. Take a walk in a crowded train or in a busy shopping center, especially in warm weather, and you will notice the distinct smell of sweaty armpits.
Sweating is natural and healthy when people exercise, manifest themselves, are in overcrowded hot spots, or are nervous, anxious, or under pressure.
Sweating is a biological way of cooling the body. Virtually odorless sweaty armpits and are an ideal culture for bacteria that live on our skin to grow. Bacteria destroy sweat in aromatic fatty acids that produce bad body odor.
This may seem strange, but people with bad body odor do not know that they emit a bad smell. Scientific studies have shown that there are people who cannot detect certain molecules. Their nostrils can detect the smell of garlic or curry, but never the smell coming from their armpits! Body odor can be eliminated by reducing the underarm sweat and treating the bacteria that produce odor. For a person with normal perspiration and body odor, lifestyle changes and home remedies can effectively manage these symptoms.
Here are some tips for reducing body odor:
* Wash daily with soap and underarm, groin and legs, where there are many sweat glands. It eliminates sweat and reduces the number of bacteria that act on it.
* If you sweat a lot, you may have to take a shower two or three times a day.
* Make a daily routine for the use of antiperspirants to reduce sweat and deodorants, masking the smell of sweat with the scent. Glands are usually more effective with intense perspiration.
* Another very effective trick is to shave your armpits. Armpit hair provides a large surface area for sweat to cling to and gives the bacteria fertile soil.
* Rinse clothes thoroughly, especially clothes that come into contact with sweaty areas such as socks, underwear, and shirts.
* Never! Never wear yesterday's clothes.
