Aging odor, or Nonenal, affects many over 40, especially men. Decreased sweat and sebum production lead to Lipid peroxide, causing the distinct scent.
What causes it?
Bacteria: Thrives in warmth and moisture, breaking down sweat and producing odor.
Apocrine glands: Larger in seniors, releasing a stronger-smelling fluid.
Androgen hormones: Higher levels in men contribute to stronger body odor.
Diet: Spicy foods and some vegetables can worsen odor.
Medical conditions: Obesity, diabetes, and certain medications can be factors.
Stress: Stimulates apocrine glands, increasing odor.
How to manage it:
Hygiene: Wash regularly, use deodorants, and consider antibacterial soap.
Diet: Eat a balanced diet, hydrate, and limit strong-smelling foods.
Lifestyle: Exercise, manage stress, and wear loose-fitting clothing.
