In the summer heat, it’s easy to develop the embarrassing
problem of body odor if you’re not careful. Bacteria live all over our skin, and
their waste is what causes body odor. Follow these simple tips
to keep the bacteria away: 1. Use antibacterial body
soap. Antibacterial soaps kill the odor-causing bacteria on the
body. If you haven’t been using one, chances of the bacteria levels on your body
are quite high, so get their numbers under control by bathing with your new soap
twice a day for two weeks. After levels are back to normal, once a day is enough
to keep them in check. 2. Change clothes and bath towels
frequently. Any worn clothing or used bath towel will produce
bacteria. Change your clothes daily, especially socks and underwear, unless you
want yesterday’s bacteria joining forces with today’s. Also, keep in mind that
cotton clothes are better at hiding body odor, as they absorb smelly sweat
rather than letting it evaporate into the air. 3. Eat
light. Greasy, spicy and salty food add toxins to the body.
Therefore, change to a healthier, lighter diet. Also, regular steam baths or
saunas can help to sweat the toxins out. Just be sure to shower
afterward. The (46) of Bacteria causes body
