If there is one thing that is almost universally hated and is a major source of embarrassment for people, it is body odor. And while it is completely normal to stink a bit after a workout or when you sweat, some people just have a naturally funky body odor. If that is you, and you want to make a change, use these three tips to beat up your B.O.

1. Keep a Clean Body

This is the number one thing you should always try and do if you find yourself suffering from body odor. By having a shower, keeping hair maintained and using the right kinds of soap, you could be amazed at how much this can help. And if one type of product or routine doesn’t work, try another as there are literally thousands of different types of things you can try. In addition to this, make sure the clothes you wear and the environment you are in are clean as well.

2. Work on Your Diet

Oftentimes, body odor can be made much worse based on what kind of foods you eat. A healthy and balanced diet can do wonders for your body in a number of ways, including changing how it smells. Foods like onions, garlic and some caffeinated drinks can actually exude through your pores when you eat them. If you notice something funky about your smell, changing your diet to see if it makes a difference should be one of the first things you do.

3. See a Doctor

If you have persistent and awful body odor that won’t go away no matter what you try, it might be time to schedule an appointment with your doctor. Your doctor can not only prescribe you things that could help, they can also let you know some untried methods that could help based on their tests. While this may be a slightly embarrassing meeting and appointment to make or have, but it will be worth it.
