不同食物會影響身體的氣味
我們吃喝的東西會影響身體的氣味。世界各地的大學研究顯示，食物會改變我們的體味。研究人員指出，每個人都有獨特的體味模式，就像指紋一樣。紐約州立大學健康與養生助理教授 Lina Begdache 表示，身體散發的氣味主要來自兩個地方：
- 胃部：胃裡充滿細菌，當細菌分解食物時，會釋放氣體與化學物質，透過呼吸排出。其中一些氣體會導致口臭。
- 皮膚：當我們流汗時，食物會改變皮膚上細菌的氣味。
科學家也指出，飲料會影響體味。酒精會導致更強烈且不吸引人的體味與口臭。咖啡與茶中的咖啡因會產生化學物質，刺激腋下與腹股溝等部位出汗。
如果我們想讓氣味更清新，可以多吃橘子、蘋果、香菜、優格，並喝水與綠茶。
Different foods affect your body's smells
What we eat and drink can affect how our body smells. Various studies at universities around the world have shown that what we put into our bodies changes our bodily smells. Researchers say that each of us has a unique pattern of bodily odours. This is similar to the uniqueness of a fingerprint. Lina Begdache, an assistant professor of health and wellness at the State University of New York, said the odours our body gives off come from two areas. One is the stomach, which is full of bacteria. When these bacteria break down food, gases and chemicals are released through our breath. Some of these gases can give us bad breath. The second area is the skin. Food can change the smell of bacteria on our skin when we sweat. Researchers say the foods that give off the strongest smells contain sulphur. This chemical often creates a "bad-egg smell". Vegetables like broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower contain a lot of sulphur. Another food that affects how smelly we are is garlic. This is well known for making our breath smell. However, researchers say it can make our armpit sweat smell nicer. Scientists also say drinks affect body odours. Alcohol can lead to stronger, unattractive bodily smells and bad breath. Caffeine in coffee and tea creates chemicals that produce sweat in areas like our armpits and groin. If we want to smell a little sweeter, we should eat oranges, apples, parsley, and yoghurt, and drink water and green tea.

不同食物會影響身體的氣味。
- 我們吃喝的東西會改變身體的味道。
- 每個人都有獨特的氣味模式，就像指紋一樣。
- 氣味來源：
- 胃部：細菌分解食物 → 產生氣體 → 口氣。
- 皮膚：食物改變汗水中細菌的氣味。
氣味最強的食物：
- 含硫食物（花椰菜、甘藍、白花椰）→「臭蛋味」。
- 大蒜 → 口氣不好，但腋下汗味更好。
- 酒精 → 強烈且不吸引人的體味。
- 咖啡／茶（咖啡因）→ 增加腋下與腹股溝的汗液。
讓氣味更清新的食物：
- 橘子、蘋果、香菜、優格。
- 飲品：水、綠茶。
📝 English Summary
Different foods affect your body’s smells.
- What we eat and drink changes how we smell.
- Each person has a unique odour pattern, like a fingerprint.
- Odours come from:
- Stomach — bacteria break down food → gases → breath smell.
- Skin — food changes bacteria smell when we sweat.
Strong-smelling foods:
- Sulphur foods (broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower) → “bad-egg smell.”
- Garlic → bad breath, but nicer armpit sweat.
- Alcohol → stronger, unpleasant odours.
- Coffee/tea (caffeine) → more sweat in armpits/groin.
Sweet-smelling foods:
- Oranges, apples, parsley, yoghurt.
- Drinks: water, green tea.
