Garlic can enhance body smell All know that a strong smell of garlic will help to repel even an attack of vampires. But you may not realize that it also affects body odour, and not necessarily in the bad sense of the word. The study, published in the journal Appetite in February 2016, showed that all the contrary — the garlic can help men to improve their smell. In the study, women evaluated the body odor of men who ate on the eve of four cloves of raw garlic as more pleasant and attractive than those who did not eat. According to scientists, garlic has antibacterial properties and can kill the odor causing bacteria on the skin surface. Why the smell of leather becomes more enjoyable.
Rich in fiber foods cause gases looks Like an old American children’s proverb contains a truth: “beans really make you ringing”. This is not the only kind of food that can cause gas. Other foods that contain fiber, such as cruciferous vegetables (cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage) and whole grains (oats) can also cause flatulence. This is because the bacteria in your gut produce gas during the digestive process. And since these products are particularly difficult to digest, they can create more gas than usual. The good news is that the foods that cause increased flatulence, usually very healthy and do not cause side effects. If you want to try a diet with a high level of fibre, do it gradually, combining such products with enough liquid that everything goes smoothly.
The beet turns the color of your urine red If you see that your urine is red in color, before in a panic to dial the ambulance, consider this: not whether you ate beets in the past 48 hours. Consumption of large amount of beets can lead to a process called “beeturia”, i.e. the emergence of reddish-pink urine. Beetroot gets its deep hue with powerful pigment called betacyanin, which can permeate into the urine, if the level of acid in the stomach is low enough to destroy this effect. Pink or red urine can also be a result of taking certain medications. If you are concerned, contact your doctor.
Carrot betrays yellow skin Can joke about your children that the consumption of large amounts of carrots, rich in beta-carotene, making them very similar to a carrot. There is some truth in that, because of the consumption of carrots, you can acquire a yellowish color, especially on the palms of the hands, feet and face. This condition has a name – hypercarotenemia (excess carotene in the body) that can also occur if you eat excessive quantities of food with vitamin A, for example, pumpkins. How many carrots are too many? It depends on how quickly your body metaboliziruet beta-carotene. Different people have different.
Asparagus creates a smell of urine You probably are familiar with the fact that eating asparagus gives the acrid smell of your urine, although this phenomenon does not occur in all. This odor is the result of a chemical reaction of a substance called aspartic acid. It is believed that 20 to 40 percent of the population either can’t smell it, or do not produce these chemical compounds. This acid is converted to sulfur, which ultimately emits an unpleasant smell, sometimes only 15-30 minutes. It remains unclear why some people can avoid this smell. But if you are one of these, then you can consider yourself lucky.
