Our body can give off a more or less strong odor when we sweat. It could tell more about our health.
L’body odor is completely normal. It is unique to each person. However, it may be a sign of a sickness when it is unpleasant. Dr Sophie, quoted by the British newspaper The Sunmentioned, for example, diabetes, liver or kidney disease and obesity.
Diabetes
The doctor said that people with the diabetes ont “a body odor which can sometimes give off a more fruity smell”. A change could be an indication of diabetic ketoacidosis. It is the consequence of too low a concentration of insulin in the blood.
A problem with the kidneys
A renal failure chronic can also cause very smelly sweat. People with advanced CRF may have body odor similar to ammonia. Which means that toxins build up in the body.
liver disease
Apart from these two illnesses, Dr. Sophie also cited the liver problem. People with liver disease may sweat a lot and have an unpleasant odor. The specialist compares the latter to the smell of a rotten egg.
Overweight
It turns out that people with a excess weight can also have a strong body odor. The folds promote the growth of bacteria. The skin then gives off an embarrassing odor.
