Foods That Eliminate Body Odor

fresh pineapple juice

What's that smell? Did you know that your diet can effect the way that you smell?

A strong body odor can sometimes be a sign of poor gut health. Consume probiotic-rich foods to help restore good intestinal bacteria and to aid your digestion so that it processes foods more smoothly, and with less odor. Fermented tea, known as kombucha, yogurt, fresh sauerkraut and pickles, Korean kimchi and kefir are good choices for this.

Citrus fruits are another way to add fiber to your diet, and the acid in them readily flushes through your body, dismissing compounds that could cause lingering odor. Have grapefruit for breakfast or have an orange as a snack.

Research suggests that regular consumption of raw juice improves your body's overall odor. The acids in fruit help flush water through your system and help to kill musky-type smells that hang out in your body. Use this recipe to help fight odor and bacteria in the body, making for a healthier, better smelling you!

Ingredients 

  • 1 turnip
  • 2 cups fresh pineapple
  • 2 peeled limes
  • 1 handful each of fresh mint and parsley
