Does any other obese people have this problem?

Question

I try my best to clean myself as well as possible, but certain body parts are difficult to reach when I shower. Am I the only one who goes through this? & then people say I stink, which hurts my feelings.

Answer 1

Get one of those extendable shower heads. The hose should be long enough for you to reach most areas. You can set the head pressure to do a cleaning job.

JMHO - Please don't turn into one of those people who is so self-concious about body odor that they drench themselves in cheap cologn and give the rest of us migraines.

Answer 2

its hard to reach certain areas. maybe try a long handled back brush or sponge. also a detachable shower head helps a lot.
back brush can be soaped up and used on the feet too to get them really clean.
once clean, rinsed and dry, remember the antiperspirant, perfume and bath powder.
sitting down in the tub makes certain areas a little easier to reach too.
best wishes!

Hi Miss C

Here are some remedies to utilize. Drink a gallon of water a day as well.

Cause
The most common cause of body odor is poor hygiene and uncleanliness. Sweat has no odor but, if left on the skin for a few hours, bacteria decompose the sweat. This can cause body odor. The next most common cause is sweat containing a high level of garlic, curry, or other spicy food. However, when a person is very healthy, usually the foods can be eaten without lasting odor effects. Other causes of body odor include nutrient deficiencies (usually zinc), underlying health problems (usually liver disease or diabetes), or gastrointestinal problems (such as parasites or chronic constipation).

Your feet can be most affected due to the warm, airless environment insides shoes, boots, and sneakers, so check the condition of your feet and footwear. Also consider excessive caffeine consumption or emotional stress, which can influence body odors.

Natural Cures

Aromatherapy: Sage is a useful essential oil for preventing body odor.

Detoxification: To help prevent unpleasant body odor, do a bowel cleanse and rejuvenation program several times a year.

Diet: The more wholesome your diet is and the greater the balance of nutrient biochemistry is in the body, the less chances there are of unpleasant odors emanating from the body. Eat a whole foods diet that includes at least 1/3 to 1/2 raw foods. Increase fluids and pure water (seven to eight glasses per day). On rising and before bedtime, drink one glass of water with the juice of a fresh lemon and one teaspoon of chlorophyll.

Juice Therapy: Drink fresh-squeezed, organic vegetable juices once or twice a day.

Homeopathy: Hepar sulph and Sulfur are both useful homeopathic remedies for treating unpleasant body odor.

Lifestyle: Wash your entire body at least once a day. Consider Colon Cleansing.

Nutritional Supplementation: The following nutrients can help prevent and reduce unpleasant body odor: vitamin B1 (50 mg two times daily while problem exists and then 20-30 mg one time daily several times a week for one year), vitamin B complex, vitamin A (25,000 IU daily for a few weeks), vitamin C (increase the amount and frequency during periods of stress), chlorophyll, magnesium, PABA (para-aminobenzoic acid), and Zinc. Liver glandulars may also be helpful.

Skin Brushing: This staple of naturopathic medicine, which involves the use of a natural bristle brush that is gently used to scrub the skin of the entire body in gentle circular motions to encourage removal of dead skin, improved local circulation, elimination through the skin, and enhanced skin function generally, can be a powerful tool in preventing body odor. It should be performed daily for at least 5 minutes and ideally be followed by a bath in which essential oils are used.

Topical Treatment: Apply baking soda under arms and between toes. Avoid aluminum-based antiperspirants.
