Body Odor Diets 3
(Complete)
This post includes the Alkaline and SIBO Diet.
Body Odor Diet
Alkaline Diet
SIBO Diet
Alkaline Diet: The alkaline diet is mainly based on switching your pH( potential of Hydrogen) balance from acidic to alkaline. Most of our bodies are acidic due to unhealthy foods we eat everyday. This is especially true if your on the SAD (Standard American Diet) which consists of eating copious amounts of meat, dairy, refined foods, and sweets(refined sugar). Anyways, it has been said that everything we eat has either an acidic or alkaline solution, when we tend to eat too much of acid-forming foods we cause an imbalance in our systems. The excessive acid lowers our pH level and cause a bad environment in our bodies that will produce bad bacteria, viruses, or degenerative diseases. The point of the alkaline diet is to switch your body from an acidic state to a balanced one ; the ratio of alkaline foods to acid foods should be 80:20,
(80% alkaline forming foods and 20 % acid forming foods).Though having an acidic body is bad for you, eating acidic foods is not actually bad, only if the majority of your diet consists of acidic food is when it is considered a problem.
Note: There are foods that have a higher or lower level of alkalinity and acidity. For a more detailed version of a alkaline food table and additional information click on these links:
http://www.trans4mind.com/nutrition/pH.html
http://www.angelfire.com/az/sthurston/acid_alkaline_foods_list.html
Note: The highlighted colors on the foods will depend on their order in alkalinity.
In addition, some foods have two different alkaline levels next to them, the reason for that is the fact that some alkaline tables have them considered high while other tables considered them to be low, also some other foods are not even labeled because I couldn't find the alkaline level for them.
[Superior Alkaline] = **Su**
[High Alkaline]= **Hi**
[Moderate Alkaline]=**Mo**
[Slight Alkaline]=**Sl**
Eat:
[Superior Acidity]= **Su**
[High Acidity]= **Hi**
[Moderate Acidity]=**Mo**
[Slight Acidity]= **Sl**
Be careful, almost all meats are high in acidity
Avoid:
FYI: foods that have a slightly alkaline and slightly acidic component to it like olives are always considered neutral.This means that it will not increase or decrease in any acidity or alkalinity in your body.
SIBO Diet: The SIBO(Small Intestine Bacteria Overgrowth ) diet is for people who have similar symptoms to those who have IBS ( constant gas, bloating, diarrhea, etc.). The premise of this diet is to reduce the amount of bacteria in the intestines by cutting out foods that will ferment in your intestines, thus diminishing the bacteria and it's symptoms. And to establish a diet of easily digestible foods so the bacteria in the intestines will not have time to grow when the foods are being digested. This diet prohibits eating high-fiber foods because it will develop a productivity in bacterial growth, and it also restricts the consumption of sugars because it will cause fermentation of bacteria as well. There's not really a list of what you can or cannot eat on a SIBO diet, there only guidelines about what you should or shouldn't do. With that knowledge, I'm going to try and make a list of what should eat and what you should avoid.
For more information on SIBO click on these links
http://www.livestrong.com/article/318789-the-sibo-diet/
http://www.gidoctor.net/diet-ibs-sibo.php
Guidelines for SIBO:
^Avoid sweeteners and reduce your sugar intake to about 40g a day
^ Avoid or limit intake of dairy products
^Avoid high-fiber foods
^Avoid foods that leave a lot of residue or undigestable substances (ex. peas, beans, lentils)
^Drink about 8 glasses of water daily
^Limit the consumption of sweet fruits
^Consume a lot of anti-bacterial foods and herbs to kill off the bacteria
^Eat easily digestible foods to prevent fermentation
^It's preferred to eat cooked vegetables rather than raw because it leaves less residue, which means it is more easier to digest
^Eat vegetables that are low in starch
^Eat foods that are low in carbohydrates
^ The FODMAP diet is another choice to try if you have SIBO

Body Odor DietAnti-inflammatory Diet
FODMAP Diet
Anti-inflammatory Diet: Inflammation is said to be the root cause of serious illnesses and diseases. Although it is a healing response that has been sent out from the immune system to combat infections and illnesses, chronic inflammation damages the body and does the same thing that it was trying to prevent, all because of the certain foods we eat. What the anti-inflammatory diet is suppose to do is prevent ill health and diseases by cutting out the foods that were causing the inflammation in the first place and bringing in the foods that are suppose to heal your body and reduce inflammation in your system.
Here are some other lists of Anti-inflammatory and Pro-inflammatory foods

FODMAP Diet: The FODMAP diet is basically a diet used to treat IBS sufferers from their symptoms of diarrhea, gas, abdominal bloating, etc. ; or at least reduce their symptoms. The premise behind this diet is to eat a low FODMAP( fermentable, olgiosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides,and polyols) diet so that all of these symptoms will disappear or diminish the embarrassing effects. It is also conveyed to reduce fecal body odor which is the reason why I put this diet in the blog.

Vitamins/Minerals for Body Odor
If you have any suggestions about improving this blog
please tell me how can I make this blog better?
(COMPLETED)
There are some people out there who are deficient in their recommended intake of vitamins and minerals. This deficiency might possibly be the reason why you smell this certain way. I believe that everyone can benefit from this post because most people on earth do not get sufficient amount and are usually deficient in one or two vitamins or minerals, which might actually be the cause for their odor. And even in you are up to par with your intake of minerals I believe making this post will give you some insight into what each vitamin and mineral can do for you.

Body Odor Diets
If you have any suggestions about improving this blog
please tell me how can I make this blog better?
Like the title implies these diets are diets that were used from people who cured themselves of their body odors. Though these diets have helped some they're not specifically for everyone, for example, the TMAU diet obviously helps the ones who suffer from TMAU and the Candida diet helps those who suffer from Candida. Though it might still help you, you should go to a doctor and figure out what's wrong with you or at least research the possible disease or disorder you might have so you can deal effectively on your distressing odors. All of these diets have one thing in common and that is to get rid of processed commercial brand foods that have high fructose corn syrup or white flour and the like. I will put up the foods you are allowed to eat and what you should avoid on each diet.
Diet List
1.Candida Diet
2.TMAU Diet
3.FODMAP Diet (@ Body Odor Diets 2)
4.Anti-inflammatory Diet (@ Body Odor Diets 2)
5.Alkaline Diet (@ Body Odor Diets 3)
6. SIBO Diet (@ Body Odor Diets 3)
Note: this list is not ranked in efficiency
Candida Diet:
The candida diet is for people who suffer from a fungal infection overgrowth called candidiasis, which can lie in the intestinal tract, mouth, genitals, and throat. The purpose of the diet is to starve the candida or restrict it from growing by eliminating sugar and simple carbohydrates from your diet. The reason being is that sugar and carbohydrates is the yeast's(candida) food source, and if you don't take it out of your diet the candida will still flourish and multiply. Therefore, you have to restrict your sugar and carbohydrate consumption or at least limit it to an extremely low level, take anti-fungal herbs or medicine, and supply your body with probiotics for you to have a chance of ridding it from your body.

The reason being is that sugar and carbohydrates is the yeast's(candida) food source, and if you don't take it out of your diet the candida will still flourish and multiply. Therefore, you have to restrict your sugar and carbohydrate consumption or at least limit it to an extremely low level, take anti-fungal herbs or medicine, and supply your body with probiotics for you to have a chance of ridding it from your body.

TMAU Diet:
The TMAU diet basically consists of eating foods that have a low choline intake, it has been said that this diet will reduce the odors but it will not completely eliminate them so I don't want you to misinterpret the full effectiveness of this diet. I primarily found low choline and high choline foods in a USDA pdf application on choline foods that was made in 2008. If you want to look further into the application the link will be posted below. On a side note, though the TMAU diet does not completely get rid of the odors in your body it has been said that taking copper chlorophyllin, or washing with charcoal soap, or even doing a liver cleanse will reduce the odors even more. And taking them all together will no doubt bring your bring your body odor to an all-time low (but keep in mind what works for some may not work for others).
For more information on TMAU look at these links:
http://www.hbri.org/TMAuria.htm Note:
*This new TMAU list will have only foods that you can eat that are 50mg of choline or lower
*Remember that the least amount of choline you can eat per day is 425-550mg, if you eat any less then you will become deficient in it.
*Some deficiency symptoms in choline include fatigue, insomnia, inability to concentrate urine in kidneys, memory problems. And for more severe cases infertility, abnormal bone formation, liver dysfunction, impaired growth, and cardiovascular/circulatory problems. Becoming deficient in choline is not something you want to do.
