Even though we all enjoy spritzing body perfume all over ourselves to avoid sweat odour during the summer, it doesn’t really work during Indian Summers. The sun will attack you as if you had just done something heinous to it, and your body is going to have no choice but to sweat profusely. You can take all of the necessary measures for your outer body, but for some people, it may be due to what they consume. Yes, your diet can contribute to your sweat smelling bad. So, let’s look at some of the best foods that will help you smell good and some things you can do on a regular basis to ensure you don’t stink so badly.
Foods that help you smell good:
Citrus Fruits
This Summer, we’ll all be downing a lot of drinks to stay cool. Therefore, if you want to smell good when you make a drink for yourself, choose citrus fruits more frequently. Lemons and oranges are examples of citrus fruits that reduce toxin buildup in the body, which in turn slows the expansion of bacteria that cause odours. It can be very reviving for your system and will make you smell good to drink a glass of warm lemon water in the morning or freshly squeezed orange juice at brunch.

Cardamoms
Even though these relatively small seeds have occasionally messed up biryani, they are present in your meal for a reason. Cardamom elevates both the flavour of the food and the natural smell of your body when added in small amounts. Cardamoms are a popular way for people to enhance the flavour and aroma of their chai. If you aren’t currently doing that, perhaps you should start doing it now.
Green Tea
Even though weight loss is always linked to green tea, there are other benefits to regular consumption as well. Green tea has a plethora of wonderful health advantages, including the ability to relieve cold and sore throat symptoms. However, did you know that it can also make you smell better? Green tea, renowned for its antioxidant capacity, can help fight stinky breath, body odour, as well as smelly feet. Every day, drink between two and three cups of green tea with honey and you will notice a difference.
Green Veggies
You may already be aware that eating a lot of green, leafy vegetables is advantageous in a number of ways. Most likely, you’ve already begun eating more green vegetables to try and ensure you have enough energy to get through the summer. But here’s something you may not know about those leafy greens: They actually make you smell nice. High chlorophyll concentrations in kale, spinach, as well as watercress, neutralise odour-causing substances. So make the change for yourself by eating more foods that are high in greens.
Fenugreek
Fenugreek is a staple ingredient in every Indian household’s kitchen. And we recently discovered that consuming enough fenugreek seeds can help your body smell better. The fenugreek plant’s seeds and leaves have always had the power to fight odours by helping your body get rid of toxins. So in the morning, drink water that has been infused with fenugreek or nibble on a few seeds if you want to smell better.
Foods to avoid if you want to smell good:
Allium vegetables
Allium veggies are a subset of vegetables that have a great deal of substances containing sulphur. The most common ones are onions, garlic, leeks, as well as scallions, which you may already have in your refrigerator or on your countertop. You don’t have to completely cut them out of your diet, but eating a little bit less of them than usual could make a big difference in how you smell.
Red meat
Another popular food that contributes to body odour is red meat. Despite the fact that the precise cause is unknown, a scientific investigation was conducted to determine whether meat eaters smelled much worse than vegetarians. And do you know what? They did. Therefore, it would be wise to limit your consumption of red meat for a while and instead focus on fruits and vegetables.
Alcohol
The fact that this is a drink and not food doesn’t change the fact that alcohol can contribute to bad odour on the body. Even though drinking alcohol never actually helps, some people will go crazy if they don’t. Try to gradually reduce it if you are one of them.
