14 Foods That Make Your Body Smell Good

While we all have our natural scent, the foods that we eat impact our smell, whether we realize it or not.  Just like there are certain ingredients that make us stink (i.e. cabbage, broccoli, and other veggies with sulfur) there are other foods that can make you smell amazing and add to your allure. The phrase “you are what you eat” has never been so true — here are the best foods to make your body smell good and provide an au naturel perfume.

1. Citrus

Citrus works as a sort of bad odor remover, when we consume it. It has a fresh and invigorating scent, and if you eat oranges, grapefruits, pineapples, or strawberry, you’ll adopt that scent. If you’re not a fan of these fruits, consider squeezing some lime or lemon into your drink.

2. Jasmine tea

While jasmine has a particularly seductive scent, all herbal teas help flush toxins out of your system, hence enhancing your natural smell. Jasmine tea does this as well as calming your digestive system. After all, who doesn’t want to smell like fresh jasmine?

3. Apples

Apples remove odor in multiple ways. While they act as a natural detergent, chewing an apple also pushes plaque away from your teeth, as well as stuck food matter that may be hiding in your mouth and causing bacteria and a funky smell.

4. Yogurt

From your gut to your skin, yogurt has plenty of benefits. Its naturally occurring probiotics can also help fight body odor and neutralize it, so feel free to get your parfait on. Just don’t add too much sugar.

5. Apple cider vinegar

If you have foot odor, ACV is your best bet. While it acts as an antibacterial soak, it also has the same cleansing effects when consumed. It also dries excess sweat and is an affordable way to keep your system balanced. Always dilute in water so that it’s not too acidic.
