What is the reason for body odor

Everyone wants to have a light fragrance on themselves, so many people are willing to buy perfume to enhance their body smell. But sometimes, even though you don’t wear any perfume, others still think you smell good. Why is that? In fact, part of the reason is that the shampoo, shower gel or laundry detergent we use every day have fragrance and remain for a long time. This article also introduces another physical reason, let’s take a look at it.

Causes of body odor

If we don't spray perfume on our body, then under normal circumstances, our body will not have any unusual odor. Some people have a faint fragrance on their bodies, which may be caused by long-term use of certain soaps or skin care products. However, some people have a stronger body odor, which may be caused by the external environment or personal reasons.

1. Glandular secretions

As we all know, there are various glands distributed in our body, which are mainly distributed in the armpits, navel and anus. If the outside temperature changes, or if mental stress causes endocrine disorders, the secretions of our glands will increase and our bodies will emit some odors.

2. Body excretion

We breathe, sweat and excrete waste every day, and these life activities will cause our bodies to produce odor. For example, smokers have a smell of smoke on their bodies, people who eat garlic exhale a smell of garlic, people who sweat a lot have a smell of sweat, and friends who love to drink have a smell of alcohol on their bodies.

3. Not paying attention to personal hygiene

In real life, some people pay special attention to personal hygiene and even have a mild obsession with cleanliness. However, some people do not pay attention to personal hygiene, do not like to brush their teeth and take a bath, and do not change clothes frequently. Over time, bacteria will breed in their bodies, which will then produce odor.

In real life, there are very few people who can exude fragrance. But if you smell like rotten apples, you should be careful, as these odors may be a sign of certain diseases. We must maintain personal hygiene, take a shower and wash clothes frequently. If you do this but still smell, go to the hospital for a check-up!
