No offense – but I’ve got some natural remedies for that B.O...

How do you smell?

If it’s not good, trying to mask that body odor with cologne or perfume just makes matters worse. Prevention Magazine has a few natural remedies that can really help in the body odor department:

1. Choose natural fabrics. Instead of wearing synthetic , switch to cotton because it will better absorb perspiration and then allow it to evaporate.

2. Skip the garlic and onions. They not only give you bad breath – but are also absorbed in your body. That odor is released through your pores all day long. Even just cooking with strong odors can be a problem because they can cling to your hair and clothes and will stay there.



3. Apply some apple cider vinegar. If you're looking for a natural underarm deodorant, use apple cider vinegar. Just apply it directly to your armpits to kill body odor.



4. Cut back on meat. Extracts of proteins and oils from certain foods, especially meat, as well as some types of spices, can remain in your body's excretions and secretions long after eating - and they can make you stink.



5. Benefit from good bacteria. Take a daily acidophilus supplement to fight odor from the inside out. Acidophilus is a probiotic bacteria that helps aid digestion.
