Stress Sweat: It just might not be body odor.

I was reading a magazine and stumbled on an article on sweating and got to know there are two types of sweat; the
ordinary sweat and stress sweat.

Stress sweat smells very different (and more stinky) from ordinary sweat. You get ordinary sweat when you exercise or when a place is hot. But when you are stressed out physically, mentally, emotionally or any other way, that sweat you get is stress sweat and studies show people can smell it and it might even affect how you are perceived. Read here to see how stress sweat changes how men perceive women.

This really means that the offensive odor we perceive on people sometimes and conclude they have body odor might just be stress sweat. The guy might just be overly anxious about that first date or interview and the girl might have crazy confidence issues.

You avoid stress sweat by generally reducing stress. So stay away from people and unnecessary situations that do nothing but give you stress. There are breathing techniques also and yoga.

Read  here  for more information and expert advice on stress sweating and  here for information on how to combat stress and be cool.

Stay lovely!

You are what you eat! the issue of the B.O.

If you have been in a queue and the person in front of you or behind you is the reason you have a permanent frown on your face or some days you notice you can perceive your natural body smell more than before, you will want to know how hygiene and food habits can affect the way our body smells.

Body odour has always been linked to bad hygiene which is sadly almost always the case. Especially in women. Sometimes, it's the hair (unwashed and unkempt), bad hygiene during menstrual period, lack of proper care of underwear etc. I have heard people say that how a baby is taken care of hygienically will determine how good or bad he or she will smell later in life.
There are skin solutions that contain sulfur that gives off a bad smell after a while when used on the skin.

When using anything like this, one must take regular baths. While hygiene is almost the culprit when it comes to body odour, some foods we eat may also affect the way our body smells.

Foods like garlic, asparagus, and surprisingly, red meat this article claims might make you smell.
