Aging and body odor changes

Question

My husband is 73; many years older than I.   He has an offensive body odor -- kinda sour, old garbage smell -- though he showers daily and this is not from bad breath; it's body odor.  He has always had a particular body odor; however, in the past few years it has become stronger. His clothes, bedding picks up this sour smell. I think he is aware of it somewhat, but I hestitate to discuss it with him. Is this a normal part of aging? Or a sign of cancer or other ailment? Thank you.

That happens because of Nonenal. Nonenal is odor phenomenon that occurs to men and women with age. As you age, your antioxidant function on the skin gets weaker. Lipid acid on the skin gets oxidized more quickly than before, resulting in production of NONENAL (No-Ne-Nal). Nonenal is different from regular body odor and most regular soap don't eliminate Nonenal. That's why some smell even though they take shower.

Every human has human body smell. The changes in human body smell in aging people has been tracked to a fatty acidity known as palmitoleic acidity. The individual in the 30 does not secrete a lot of this substance, but once a individual reaches 40, the volume rises immensely. One's human body smell increases as a individual ages due to palmitoleic acidity.

Everybody has own body odor. Taking lots of water also helps to reduce excessive body odor. Water removes out the body toxins through sweating. Eat healthy diet and avoid spicy meal.
