Learn about the state of health through the smells secreted by the body

Several scientific studies revealed the existence of a relationship between body odor and infection with some diseases. These odors may be pleasant, such as the smell of fruit, or unacceptable, such as rotten eggs.

Public health expert, Dr. Sophie Newton, explained, according to “The Sun”, that those who suffer from obesity are more likely to have bad body odor. As a result, there are folds in their skin, which are a perfect breeding ground for bacteria.

Sophie indicated that the exit of a fruit-like smell is related to diabetes, so the change in body odor can be a sign of increased levels of ketoacidosis (DKA) associated with diabetes, when there is an acute shortage of insulin in the body.

And she showed that those who suffer from liver diseases can emit an unpleasant smell, similar to the smell of rotten eggs, when the liver stops working, or slows down, many toxins and pollutants accumulate in urine, sweat, and breathing, and those with kidney failure emit an odor similar to ammonia. ; As a result of the accumulation of toxins and waste in the blood and urine.
