Why do we sweat? A person under the skin has swelling glands. Each of them is connected to the nerve. And when a person is experiencing stress or something actively engaged in, for example, sports or cleaning, then the nerve, as it were, activates the sweating gland. And it highlights moisture, which is later. And the human body as it turns out at the expense of this moisture.
Sweet glands. There are two types of sweat glands. There are ordinary sweat glands that are located all over the body. But there is also a special kind of sweat glands, which are located in armpits. These glands are called apocryan glands. And just in this area the smell of sweat is the most concentrated and unpleasant. To make it more clear, consider a simple example. The sweat itself consists of water and electrolytes. And bacteria that are on the skin, they do not react to it. Therefore, such sweat does not smell. But the sweat, which is distinguished from the apocrytic glands, acquires a specific smell. The thing is that this sweat consists of fatty acids. And bacteria begin to eat and highlight livestock products. Because of this, in armpits and such an unpleasant odor appears. In fact, this smell is not sweat, but bacteria.
Products. One of the reasons why some people have the smell of sweat more unpleasant than others are products. The fact is that one food enhances the unpleasant smell, and the other weakens. Anis weakens the smell of sweat. It contains essential oils that suppress the growth of bacteria on the skin. Meat enhances sweat smell. Numerous studies have proven that people who often eat meat, the smell of sweat is stronger than those who eat not so much meat. Acute pepper enhances the smell of sweat. He accelerates the metabolism. Because of this, sweating is enhanced. And the more sweat, the stronger it smells.
Hair. An experiment was conducted: the test alone shaved, and the other left unshaven. So he walked a day, while doing sports, cleaning and other everyday affairs.
At the end of the day, with the help of a special instrument - a gas analyzer - he measured the level of the smell of the armpits. Here are the indicators: unshaven armp. - 0.76, shaved armpit - 0.39. And it is not surprising. The thing is that bacteria, which cause the smell of sweat, multiply not only on the skin, but also on her hair in armpits. And if there is no hair, then the bacteria in the armpit will be less. And the smell of sweat will also be less.
