3. The thumb rule of keeping yourself odor free is to improve your hygiene - If you are not in the habit of taking a bath everyday, you should consider the option of a daily shower very seriously.
4. Drink lots of water - Your body tends to expel toxins through the skin. So the more toxins there are in your body, the more body odor you will experience. This is a common problem among many people. To avoid body odor, give special attention to your diet. Drink lots of water and eat fresh fruits, vegetables and other sources of roughage so that your body’s toxins are expelled regularly.
5. Get a good sweat - Another reason why a lot of people have body odor is that their sweat glands keep working full time but the pores of their skin are clogged. It is a good idea to sweat out regularly. Join a gym or a spa that gives you the facility of a sauna. Use it for a few minutes everyday. If the idea of a sauna bath doesn’t sound too good, you can alternatively sweat it out by exercising for a few minutes everyday. Once you are completely sweaty, don’t forget to take a bath otherwise you will simply end up defeating the purpose!
