How to Remove Body Odor: Dietary Considerations for Managing Body Odor
Disease description:
My armpits have a very unpleasant odor, which might be caused by bromhidrosis (body odor). How can I eliminate bromhidrosis?

There are various methods for eliminating body odor, including maintaining personal hygiene, topical medications, injectable medications, laser therapy, and surgical treatment. Regarding diet, individuals with body odor should pay attention to the following:
1. Reduce intake of greasy foods: Try to avoid eating red meats such as pork, beef, and lamb, as well as high-fat nuts like peanuts, sunflower seeds, and walnuts. These foods may increase body oil content and exacerbate body odor.
2. Avoid spicy and stimulant foods: Foods such as onions, garlic, and spicy seasonings contain sulfur compounds that, when absorbed by the body, may be excreted through sweat, thereby worsening body odor.
3. Increase consumption of bland foods: It is recommended to eat more water-rich fruits and vegetables, such as watermelon, wax gourd (winter melon), Chinese cabbage, and oranges. These foods are high in fiber and water content, which can help accelerate the excretion of organic substances from the intestines and reduce body odor.
