Body Odor & Attractiveness.

[Twega]

I have been smelling a lot of less than pleasant bad body/oral odor from many young women. I think this is because most peoples diet is so poor nowadays.

"We suggest that the main nongenetic source of axillary odor variation in a healthy human is due to differences in diet. Our opinion is supported by a study which showed that hand odor of twins on different diet was correctly matched; however, this was not true for twins on the same diet (Wallace 1977). Hepper (1988) found that dogs can discriminate between adult monozygotic twins on different diets."

Its a huge turn off, and more common than you think.

Diets high in fruits and veggies are correlated with better body odor than heavy meat diets:

"The results of this study show for the first time that red meat consumption may have a perceivable impact on axillary body odor. Odors of donors on the nonmeat diet were judged as more pleasant, more attractive, and less intense."

Theoretically, antimicrobial compounds should help in reducing unpleasant body odor. Fungi and plants are chemical masters of antimicrobial warfare. Green tea, mushrooms, spices, and some vegetables produce many antimicrobial compounds that are biologically active. I'm guessing that metabolic health is also very important.

A lot of it is actually from an overstimulated nervous system. Too much screen time stimulates the sympathetic nervous system. People never allow themselves a chance to slow down and this often causes things such as what I had which was LPR or silent reflux.

Any sort of prolonged sustained stress or anxiety can cause any number of autoimmune problems in the body. A lot of people generate this state mentally through many of the same processes were here trying to stop in our personal development journey.

Silent reflex causes stomach acid to regurgitate up into the throat and the body responds by producing mucus which coats your tongue. The anaerobic bacteria start the colonize that and produce an unpleasant odor. 

A lot of people who think they have allergies actually have lpr. It goes along with having a white coated tongue and bad breath. A lot of people with LPR also have gastroparesis or delayed stomach emptying. This goes along with having poor vagus nerve function which is a side effect of having an overstimulated sympathetic dominant nervous system.
