• Clothes should be loose as they allow the body to breathe better than tight clothes. The perspiration escapes and doesn't become a breeding place for bacteria. The type of fabric is also very important. Synthetic fabrics for shoes and clothes don't allow the body to breathe, so natural fabrics are better than synthetic fibres. Change clothes regularly.
• Dietary changes are also very important in decreasing the body odor. Certain foods, such as meat, onions, garlic, exotic spices, and drinks such as coffee and alcohol can lead to body odor. Try removing these from diet for a week or two and see if this makes a difference.
• Tobacco use is a major cause of body odor. If you stop smoking it may take several weeks for the body to rid itself of odor causing substances.
