REASONS WHY YOU SMELL EVEN AFTER SHOWERING 😳😳
Even famous Hollywood stars have suffered legendarily bad breath and battled body odor, so you are not alone if your natural state smells a little bit more "natural" than your friends would prefer. This article will help you understand what may be causing the smell and what you can do about it.
Causes of Smelling Bad After a Shower
Cause Description Treatment
Trimethylaminuria (TMAU) A genetic disorder that inhibits your body's enzymes from breaking down trimethtylamine (TMA), a fishy-smelling compound found in choline-rich foods. Remove or reduce choline-rich foods in your diet. These foods include milk, eggs, saltwater fish, and legumes.
Diet heavy in cruciferous vegetables, sulfur-rich foods, or heavy spices Cruciferous vegetables, like broccoli and cabbage are high in sulfur, which when broken down, make your sweat smell like rotten eggs. Strong smelling herbs can also be secreted through sweat when broken down in your body. Avoid eating these foods. Cooking cruciferous vegetables will also reduce sulfur compounds, but retain the nutrients.
Stress, Anxiety, or Depression Sweat produced when feeling anxiety or depression contains fat that bacteria present on your skin love to feast on. When bacteria break down this fat, a stinky acid is produced. Avoid stressful situations or try meditatio to calm your nerves. If stress is unavoidable, use a clinicalstrength antiperspiran or deodorant to prevent sweating or to mask the smell.
Athlete's foot A fungal infection that is a result of feet that are confined to a warm, dark, and sweaty environment. Most cases can be treated with an over-the-counter anti-fungal cream. If problems persist, your doctor may suggest a prescription-strength medication.
Consuming copious amounts of alcohol Excess alcohol that is not processed by the liver escapes through your pores. Drink in moderation.
Diabetic Ketoacidosis A condition in which there is a buildup of ketones, which produces a smell that is described as fruity, sweet, or similar to nail polish. This is caused by extremely low levels of
insulin.
