In the eyes of sexologists, body odor is not just a result of sweating, but a "pheromone" that attracts the opposite sex. Recently, according to a US media report, adjusting one's diet can make one's "pheromones" more alluring.
Generally, pheromones can be divided into two main categories by gender: one is the male scent, which mainly contains testosterone, and the other is the female scent, which mainly contains estradiol. The female scent is light, while the male scent is strong. These pheromones are mainly found in the secretions of the body's sexual organs, perineum, armpits, sweat glands, and urine. Normally, the scent is very weak, but if a couple remains in a state of extreme excitement during sex, they will emit a stronger odor.
Pheromones have a profound impact on people's behavior, enhancing the intimacy between men and women and triggering sexual desire.
Among the many "delicious" foods, fruits are the most highly recommended, such as citrus, grapefruit, pineapple, banana, and papaya. They can make the body emit a delicate and refreshing fragrance. Coriander, sprouts, and celery can make body scent sweeter, which may be related to the high chlorophyll content in vegetables. In addition, some special spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, mint, and lemon, are also effective for improving body odor.
It should be noted that foods with strong flavors, such as coffee, cigarettes, foods containing preservatives, onions, garlic, and red meat, belong to the category of strongly scented foods. They can make the pheromones intense and pungent, and are not beneficial for improving body odor.
