Body-Odor ~ Natures Health Foods
 Concern: Body-Odor Remedy: Baking soda Why it works: Baking soda is known for its ability to absorb smells eminating from your refrigerator, and it'll do the same thing for you. It also has natural antibacterial properties. How to use it: Make a paste of baking soda and water and use it in lieu of deodorant. Other remedies to consider: Remedy: Zinc Why it works: One of the telltale signs of a zinc deficiency is body odor.
Zinc helps the body digest its food and if you aren't getting enough, chances are your metabolism is out of whack and you're having to process toxins and bacteria by secreting them through your sweat glands. How to use it: Studies recommend taking 30 to 50 milligrams of zinc (in supplement form) daily if you have a chronic body odor problem. Good food sources of zinc include dark leafy greens, Brussels sprouts, green beans, oysters and cashews. What to watch out for: Too much zinc can reduce your body's ability to absorb copper. It's best to consult with a doctor before starting a long-term zinc supplement regimen to help determine the best dosage for your body. Remedy: Hydrogen peroxide Why it works: Body odor is most often caused by bacteria. Just as you would use hydrogen peroxide to disinfect a wound, you can use it to remove the bacteria from your underarms. How to use it: Dilute a teaspoon of 3% hydrogen peroxide (found at your local drugstore) in a small glass (eight ounces) of water. Use the solution to wash your underarms. If body-odor persists, try a stronger solution.
