Excess perspiration:
Causes: Perspiration is generally stimulated by heat and it’s the body’s way of regulating temperature. Sweating exceeds what is thought of as normal due to several reasons, an over active thyroid gland, menopause, prolonged fever, stress or other psychological factors. An unpleasant body odour may occur if perspiration comes into contact with bacteria on the skin.

Diet: Drink plenty of water to replace the salt loss. Use ginger in your diet as it a potent perspiration including action that is quite effective in cleansing the system of toxins.

Bad breath:
Causes: Poor dental hygiene, smoking and alcohol consumption cause bad breathe. It may be accompanied by drubbing during sleep and a yellowish, thickly coated tongue. Bad breathe can also be a symptom of other disorders like tonsillitis, sinusitis, oral thrush, diabetes, acute bronchitis, constipation etc. can be the reasons.

Diet: Avoid an excess of raw onions, spicy foods and garlic in your meals.
After meals, chew any of the following:
• Fresh coriander or cardamom seeds, as they not only discourage bad breathe, but also act as a digestive.
• Fresh water cress, as it rich in chlorophyll and vitamin C.
• Fresh parsley, thyme or mint.
• Walnuts bark; rub it on the gums, then gargle with lemon water.

You could also drink a combination of fresh carrot, celery, water cress and a cucumber juice with some paprika. Recent studies indicate that consuming a serving of sugarless yogurt a day for six weeks helps reduce hydrogen sulphide, which is the major cause of bad breathe.

Flatulence:
Causes: Excessive swallowing of air, which may be a response to stress, or eating too quickly, can cause wind. It also indicates disorders such as indigestion and irritable bowel syndrome. Pulses and beans produce more flatus than other foods. Gas is formed in the large intestine as a result of the action of bacteria on carbohydrates and amino acids in the digested foods. Gas as formed in the intestine is passed only through the anus.

Diet: Celery foods, cloves, barley, carrots, onions, thyme, olive oil and eucalyptus are known remedies for flatulence. Fresh dill, added to billing water and steeped, will reduce gas pains and other ailments.

Body odour:
Causes: What comes out of your body reflects what you put in. body odour is something that is strongly affected by what’s being emitted by your sweat glands. The function of the sweat glands in the armpits is to excrete toxins from your body; hence it’s important part of maintaining optimum physical health. The way to eliminate body odour is not to mask it with deodorant products but rather to clean up your body from inside.

Diet: Avoid red meat. It causes stagnation in the body, decays the digestive tract and releases toxins into the bloodstream through the large intestine. Avoid ready to eat foods that lack fiber, added sugar and other processed ingredients. Include whole grains. Good quantities of leafy greens, fresh fruits, Soya products, sprouts, raw nuts and seeds, and the use of healthy oil will help body odour disappear in a matter of weeks.

Incontinence:
Causes: The most common form of uncontrollable involuntary passing of urine is stress incontinence, in which a small quantity of urine is leaked when there is increased pressure in the abdomen, as in laughing, sneezing, coughing. Stress incontinence is often experienced after childbirth, as a result of injury or strain to the pelvic floor muscles, whose function is to support the bladder and keep the urethra closed.

Diet: If incontinence is the result of a cause such as pregnancy, the arrival of a baby or menopause, walnuts are of a great help to help deal with negative emotions. Drink plenty of water to ensure regular use of bladder muscles. Include yogurt in your diet at least thrice a week. Avoid apples, onions, citrus fruits, grapes, peaches, pineapples or smoked meats and fish, since these foods are high in oxalates, which may irritate the bladder and aggravate certain inflammatory conditions of the urinary tract.
