Food You Don’t Eat When You Are Depressed Because It Makes YOU Stink More!

FOOD IS ADDING TO MY STINK?

Okay, yes, Depression Really Stinks!  We get it.  So what can we do to NOT make it stink more?  Well, this one is tough, because if we are really worried about how bad we smell to the point that we care about the food we eat…  Well, then we just might be well enough to take a shower!

Some of the following suggestions give off “The Most Offensive body odor” from foods.  They may be the best food for use and eating them could help our depression.  This is not medical or nutritional advice – it is just sinking stinky causing foods.

“The B.O.-inducing culprits in certain aromatic foods are volatile organic compounds that are released as the body metabolizes these foods…They come out in your urine, your breath, and your sweat,” says George Preti, PhD, an organic chemist at the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia.

“Smells are based on the chemical nature of the molecule that you’re smelling,” says Dee Anna Glaser, MD, professor of dermatology at St. Louis University School of Medicine.

“The sulfur compounds just happen to produce a lot of odor that we can perceive at very low thresholds,” says Preti. says Dee Anna Glaser, MD, professor of dermatology at St. Louis University School of Medicine.

• garlic
• onion
• broccoli
• cabbage
• Brussels sprouts
• Cruciferous vegetables are also loaded with sulfur-containing compounds.
• Aromatic spices like curry and cumin can leave a lingering aroma on your skin.

Can YOU STOP Food Odors?

• You can avoid the offending food entirely.
• Recommend eating cooked and raw.
• Drinking lots of water to flush your stinky foods.
• Take lots of showers.
• Use deodorant.

Our diet can have an effect on our body smell, too.  Example, if our diet is heavy on the meat and protein and low carb it can give you bad breath. I do the KETO diet off and on now for a full year. I notice my body odor is more stinky when I’m doing my best…LOL

That means when I am losing weight I really STINK!  And it’s not because I’m depressed.
