Just as we take in food, we put out waste \u2013 same goes for our skin that sweats to excrete waste. Sweat contains bacterial activity and when it dries on the skin it can produce body odor.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Body odor doesn\u2019t always indicate poor hygiene, it can also result from systemic deficiencies within the body. In women, menstruation and stress often dramatically increases the degree of body odor.\u00a0When body odor is indicative of a problem from within, detoxifying your body is the answer. People who live a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise, sauna, healthy fresh food, plenty of water intake and good nights sleep have tendency to smell better.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A study\u00a0published in\u00a0Evolution and Human Behavior<\/a>,\u00a0confirmed that human axillary sweat may provide important information\u00a0on health status and genetics.\u00a0The results of this given study showed that a healthy diet produces, overall, more pleasant smelling sweat.\u00a0Higher levels of carotenoids in sweat, produced by eating more fruits and vegetables, was described as \u201cfloral, fruity, sweet or having medicinal qualities.\u201d<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n But if this is not enough..<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n While most people use the terms antiperspirant and deodorant interchangeably, the two are in fact not the same. Antiperspirants\u00a0plug the sweat ducts and prevent you from perspiring.\u00a0Deodorants allow perspiration but block odor by killing the bacteria that cause smell. Sweating is a natural like any other elimination process in our body, so it makes more sense for us to use deodorants.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Aluminum \u2013 worry or not?<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n If not producing axillary sweat at all is not weird\/scary enough for you, some research analysts say that antiperspirants have impact on the risk of diseases like breast cancer and Alzheimer’s. They\u00a0argue that long-term exposure to aluminium chloride can trigger the development of tumours in breasts,\u00a0Alzheimer\u2019s Disease, bone disorders, kidney problems.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u2018Aluminum-free\u2019 alone may not be enough though, as some aluminum-free deodorants contain chemicals like triclosan and propylene glycol and synthetic fragrancies which are endocrine disruptors and can mess with your hormones.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Aluminium or not, the increasing use of synthetic products on ourselves, around the home and in our wider environment is almost certainly causing some harmful effects and we should try to reduce them wherever possible.\u00a0<\/p>\n
