From eating oily or spicy food to wearing clothes made of synthetic fabrics, a lot of factors cause excessive sweating.

Here are the six tips that will help you combat body odour.

1. Showering twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening, is ideal for anyone who is prone to excess sweating, even in the monsoon, when the weather outside is not too hot.

2. Don’t start putting on clothes right after a shower. Thoroughly wipe your entire body and make sure it is dry because dampness attracts odour causing bacteria.

3. A deodorant masks the pungent smell from sweating but you also need an antiperspirant to control the excess sweat throughout the day. A combination of both is your best bet to be odour-free.



4. Whether or not your underarms are exposed, get rid of the unwanted underarm hair that retains the bacteria and promotes a foul smell.

5. Avoid clothes with nylon and synthetic material as they retain sweat. Wearing cotton clothes allows the sweat to evaporate.

6. Certain kinds of food such as extremely oily or spicy food can cause excess sweating for some, resulting in body odour. It is wise to review food choices to tackle this problem.

East Asians are actually genetically different and do not have the apocrine glands that cause bad odor

Prevalence
Non-primate mammals usually have apocrine sweat glands over most of their bodies.[8] Horses use them as a thermoregulatory device, as they are regulated by adrenaline and more widely distributed on equines than on other groups.[28] Skunks, on the other hand, use the glands to release a stench that acts as a defense mechanism.[20]

The "axillary organs", limited regions with equal numbers of apocrine and eccrine sweat glands, only exist in humans, gorillas, and chimpanzees.[9] In humans, the apocrine glands in this region are the most developed (with the most complex glomeruli).[18] Men have more apocrine sweat glands than women in all axillary regions.[29][30]

East Asians who have nearly complete loss of typical body odor, when compared to people of African and European descent, have significantly less of the characteristic axillary odorants and variants in the ABCC11 gene, which is expressed and localized in apocrine sweat glands.[31] Racial differences also exist in the cerumen glands: apocrine sweat glands which produce earwax.[3] East Asians have predominantly dry earwax, as opposed to sticky; the gene encoding for this is strongly linked to reduced body odor, whereas those with wet, sticky earwax (Africans and Europeans) are prone to more body odor.[32]

Another tip - WATER, drink plenty of it. That is how toxins should exit your body, and not through your sweat.
