Everybody knows that one person who has a perpetual odor, and not the gym sweat kind.
No, I’m talking about the person who you consider might be changing into a Zombie because he or she always smells like the undead. If you know this person or are this person, your diet may be to blame.
People with an offensive odor, that they just can’t seem to wash away, usually suffer from these two major problems, and no, it's not just bad hygiene.
One, they are eating processed foods or lots of meat. Two, they often suffer from chronic constipation. The worst part is that this is a self-sustaining cycle. The more processed foods or meat you eat, the more constipated you get. The more constipated you get, the more you smell like rotting flesh.
See the connection?
For example, when someone eats a lot of onions or garlic the smell at some point no longer stays contained to their breath. Instead, the smell begins seeping out of their pores.
So, it only makes sense that if you continue to feed your body crap and you can’t manage to eliminate it the conventional way (i.e. a bowel movement), then your body is smart enough to utilize other means of getting rid of the toxic buildup. Guess what, the next best organ at eliminating waste just happens to be the skin. Ah ha, thus explaining the persistent stench.
Also, you might notice that when the skin starts to develop an odor, acne, eczema, and other skin problems start to appear. Coincidence I think not. All I’m trying to say is that you might want to pay attention to what’s on your plate before you dig in because nobody wants the comment, “Something stinks” to mean “You.”
