Thanks to a number of studies, British scientists managed to determine the types of products that significantly alter body odor, and not for the better.
The first, but far from the most honorable place in this ranking belongs to alcohol. It is known that the processing of alcohol, as well as everything else that we consume, occurs in the liver. However, 10% of alcohol leaves the body with sweat, urine, and also excreted through respiration. And given that alcohol increases perspiration several times, it is not surprising that any alcoholic drink we drink gives us an unpleasant odor.
In second place, oddly enough, meat. The reason is that meat lovers, unlike vegetarians, have more intense sweat, which also has a harsher odor.
In third place was a product with a rather poor reputation, which it acquired precisely because of its strong, specific smell. As you probably already guessed, this is garlic. Not only the smell of breath gives out a lover of garlic, but also the smell of his sweat, as this product is also secreted through the sweat glands.
The last place in the list of products that badly affect the smell of our bodies is occupied by foods containing methyl compounds. Their increased content is found in soy products, spinach and beets. When these, in general, healthy products are processed, an increased amount of trimethylamine is formed in the body, which, released with sweat, gives the body an unpleasant fishy smell.
