TheIndonesia.co - Bad body odor does make a person insecure. Although body odor occurs naturally, sometimes it can be caused by a more serious condition. Those who regularly eat spicy food are more prone to having body odor. Certain medical conditions, such as diabetes, can also be the cause.
Sweat doesn't smell, the smell is actually the result of bacteria breaking down proteins into certain acids that mix with sweat. Certain factors, stress, ovulation, sexual arousal, and anger, can all contribute to body odor.
If you experience this condition, it's better to look for natural alternatives than use commercial products to cover up body odor. These commercial products only mask odors temporarily.
