Diet Tips To Help Control Body Odour

Volatile organic compounds produce some particularly pungent sweat creating body odour

- Dr. Soumita Biswas

In simple terms, body odour is the smell your body exudes when sweat comes into contact with the bacteria in your body. The odour is not a result of just sweat but the bacteria that causes the sweat to smell. The most common affected areas are the armpits, groin, and pubic area. While body odour is common in most people and the extent of odour depends from person to person, an individual may be more prone to body odour if they are overweight, eat certain types of foods, have certain prior health conditions or are under stress.
