One must maintain hygiene and apply a sensitive deodorant to curb body odor. Once it increases, it is always advisable to consult a doctor, lest it multiplies. Body odor can give people around a reason to stay away, as many are allergic to bad smelling people. The intensity of perspiration is not always linked with body odor, although in most cases it does.

Body odor can also be controlled by having a regular check on one’s diet. Fried foodstuffs as well as baked ones cause body odor. Items such as garlic, onion, coffee and alcohol may also lead to body odor. There are many other problems that occur due to unhygienic conditions and they are nail fungus, fingernail fungus, and toe nail fungus along with body odor. You can get rid of these problems if you keep in mind the hygiene. 

In rare cases, the causes also range from diabetes, metabolic dysfunction, liver disease and menopause. One of the primary ways to fight body odor and nail fungus is to have a clean bath everyday. One must use a mild dermatological soap that helps kill the harmful bacteria and clean dry prone areas everyday. In summers, having bathed twice a day helps keep body odor at bay. One must also wear loose and comfortable fitting garments as they allow one to breathe freely thus not giving body odor a chance. Certain dietary foods must be avoided and had once in a while and not on an everyday basis as they serve as the spin yard for body odor. 

One must use separate towels and not share the same towel as each of us have different body mechanisms and ways of reaction. Personal hygiene must also be maintained.
