By DR. JAMUNA PAI : Body odour or ‘bromhidrosis' is caused by a natural process involving sweat that occurs on the skin's surface. Sweat is odourless but, if left on the skin for long, the bacteria that normally live there or those attracted to a‘sticky skin' feed on it and cause bacterial decomposition. This is what causes the unpleasant smell or body odour.

Some areas of the body like the armpits and genitals are more likely to produce the odour as these glands produce proteins and oils that the bacteria feed on. The unpleasant smell is typical to one's own body chemistry. The feet produce their characteristic odour. A humid climate, sweat and closed footwear allow fungi and bacteria to flourish.

Quick tips to avoid body odour

A few easy-to-follow tips that are very effective in curbing the unpleasantness caused by body odour.
* Eat food that contains fibre like whole grains, wheat, soy products and green leafy vegetables. Avoid processed foods
* Drink plenty of water. This will help dilute sweat and urine, as both contribute to body odour
* Wear light-coloured, loose cotton clothes to soak sweat and deflect the sun's rays
* Body odour lingers on clothes. So wash clothes after every bath and avoid polyester
* Have frequent showers with a teaspoon of alum added to your bath water
* Use an antibacterial soap
* Apply cider vinegar or white vinegar on the underarms
* A little baking soda with lemon juice kills the bacteria and also absorbs the sweat
* Pay special attention to hygiene in the feet and body folds. Wash feet properly and use antifungal powder between the toes and in body folds like armpits, groin, neck, under breasts after bathing. Wear open sandals
