Nine Weapons against Body Odour
To begin to win the battle
against Foot and body odour we need to follow certain rules and listen to
shared experiences.
Use pH-balance soaps and skincare products to
maintain the protective acid mantle of your skin.
Deodorants help destroy bacteria and disguise odours,
look out for potentially, irritating ingredients.
Avoid aluminum (linked to Alzheimer's
disease) and products with emulsifiers(known to clog pores) Consider
products with Tea Tree Oil, known for its antibacterial and anti-fugal
properties, or use a deodorant stone, made from mineral salts.
Antiperspirants reduce bacteria feeding moisture, but they block sweat glands and contain aluminum
chlorohydrate.
Use-one part cornstarch to one-part
baking soda to absorb moisture. Deodorize feet after bathing with a
mixture of 1 cup cornstarch to 1 cup baking soda and six drops of peppermint or
eucalyptus oil.
Cut down on dairy products and sugar. Protect
your gastro tract from yeast-enhancing sugar. Look out for hidden sugars
in everything from hot dogs, mayonnaise and soups to non-dairy creamers and
cream-style corn.
Take 25mg to 50 mg of zinc daily or eat foods high in
zinc. Try eggs, lean meat and pumpkin seeds.
Detoxify your system regularly, it's the only way to
keep your liver and gastrointestinal tract functioning at optimal levels
and potential odour at bay.
- Include friendly flora fiber supplement in your
regime. Lactobacillus acidophilus and bifid bacteria can re-establish
the proper pH balance in your digestive system. Adding a fiber
supplement will gently wisk away that waste buildup.
- Drink 10-12 glasses of water daily. Flush toxins from
your body and keep metabolic processes humming along at peak levels.
- Maintain a balanced diet, overloading or
cutting back in vital areas can throw your system off and aggravate
glandular secretions. Adapt a diet 30% lean protein, to help the liver develop
a sufficient amount of enzymes for the detox process; 30% essential fats
(such as flaxseed oil, nuts, avocados and seeds) to lubricate the G1 tract;
and 40% slow-acting /high-fiber carbohydrates to sweep out that
encrusted mass.
