How does body odor develop?
How does body odor develop?
Our body contains many sweat glands that help to remove toxins and cools us off when we feel hot. Most of the sweat glands in our bodies simply give off water and salts, but the glands in our armpits and groin secrete more complex waste substances that contain protein and fat.These are easily broken down by existing bacteria resulting in the unwanted body odor.
Many products, concoctions and remedies are offered in the market to try and solve this problem. Some simply mask the odor. Others (anti perspirants) try to get at the cause of the problem- by blocking the skin pores that give off sweat. This stops the odor and makes you feel dry. However this method defeats your body’s cooling and toxin removal mechanism. Worse, this may even lead to bigger problems if you are a regular user. Most if not all these products gradually form a thin film of goo in your armpits which may cause some discomfort or even allergies.
