Body Odor – A Reflection of What You Drink Every Day
We often think of body odor as coming from sweat or poor hygiene, but what we drink every day directly affects how we smell. From your morning cup of coffee, afternoon tea, to your post-work soda – everything leaves a biological imprint on your sweat glands and breath. The body absorbs, metabolizes, and releases different odor-producing compounds, much like the way the scent of coffee lingers in the air after it’s brewed.
Coffee – morning energy but easily “strong smell”
Coffee brings alertness, but is also the "hidden culprit" that makes body odor stronger. According to the Journal of Applied Physiology (2019) , caffeine stimulates sweat glands to work harder and increases the secretion of acids and oils on the skin. When these substances combine with surface bacteria, they create sulfur compounds - the cause of the body's characteristic odor a few hours after drinking coffee. In addition, coffee also causes mild dehydration, making sweat thicker and more likely to smell. However, you don't need to give up this habit - just drink in moderation and add more filtered water or fresh fruit, your body odor will be milder and cleaner.
Tea – the light “opposite” of coffee
Unlike coffee, green tea and herbal tea contain many antioxidants such as catechins and polyphenols, which help neutralize odor-causing compounds and support the liver in the detoxification process. Thanks to that, sweat glands function stably and secrete less odor-causing compounds, making the body smell lighter and more pleasant. However, black tea or strong tea still contains caffeine, which can increase sweating and cause dry, bitter breath if consumed too much. Choosing green tea, jasmine tea or mint tea - types of tea that can soothe body odor and help relax the mind - is a smart choice for modern men.
Carbonated soft drinks – sweet but lingering smell
Carbonated soft drinks provide an instant feeling of refreshment, but they affect body odor in the long term. Soft drinks contain refined sugar, colorants, and preservatives, which, when metabolized, produce sulfur compounds and volatile fatty acids – substances that are excreted through sweat. As a result, the body can have a characteristic sweet chemical or slightly sour smell. In addition, high sugar content also changes the microflora on the skin, causing odor-causing bacteria to grow faster – especially in hot and humid weather. If maintained regularly, carbonated soft drinks not only affect health but also make body odor more difficult to control.
What to drink to keep your body naturally fresh
Instead of strong coffee or carbonated soft drinks, your body will thank you if you “cool down” with lighter, natural drinks. Plain water or warm water with lemon, cucumber, and mint helps cleanse the liver and reduce acid in the body. Vegetable juices such as celery, apple, ginger, or pineapple help detoxify, balance pH, and reduce sweat odor. Light herbal teas such as green tea, chamomile tea, or roasted rice tea are relaxing, pure, and pleasant. These simple choices help your body odor become more natural, clean, and pleasant – just like the elegant lifestyle of the Breeze man.
