In particular, drinking enough two liters a day is the best way to speed up metabolism and minimize body odor. In addition, drinking water is also good for health, beauty, and skin elasticity.
Eat foods rich in calcium and magnesium
Calcium and magnesium have the ability to inhibit sweat gland activity. Some foods containing calcium and magnesium include chocolate, avocado, banana, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, macadamia nuts...
Eat lots of vegetables, tubers, fruits, and yogurt
Vegetables and fruits rich in fiber, vitamins A, B, C such as carrots, lemons, watermelons, and spinach help reduce body odor. Pineapple, grapes, pears, oranges, etc. also help inhibit odors effectively. Yogurt contains many beneficial bacteria that are good for the digestive system and health.
