Certain foods when consumed regularly do not get totally eliminated from your system or broken down into simpler forms.

The lifestyle of today includes a fast-paced living where you tend to eat fast foods than pick naturally grown fruits and vegetables. This should also be removed from your diet.

Diet is important in order to get rid of body odor. Your diet should include fresh fruits and vegetables as well as foods that are a rich source of natural fiber. Whole grains, sprouts and nuts, leafy vegetables, and fresh fruits are elements of a healthy diet that does not cause your body to let off offensive odor. Healthy oils and cooking herbs and spices like parsley, celery, oregano, thyme and mint leaves also cleanse your body from within and do not yield any offensive odor. Along with a good diet, include yoga exercises like Pavanmuktasana (Wind Relieving Pose) to regularize your metabolism and Pranayama (Breathing Techniques) to settle your mind and relieve it from any stress.
