The Story Starts with Stink Bugs
A massive outbreak of stink bugs
I saw that in the news the other day
Stink bugs really do smell intense, don't they?
When something smells bad,
why do we end up wanting to smell it again?
It's also that time of year when body odor starts to become a concern.
It seems we perceive a smell as bad if the other person's genes are similar to our own.
Apparently, it's an instinct to prevent inbreeding.
Personally, I'm at the age where I'm starting to worry about aging body odor.
Aging body odor is caused by a substance called nonenal,
which is found in sebum detected in people over 40.
Countermeasure: Do not let the secreted sebum oxidize.
Even when we talk about body odor, there are various causes.
The other day, I was watching a program called "Learning with Kazlaser"
while I was on the verge of falling asleep.
My memory is a bit hazy, though.
It seems there are many types of body odor caused by sebum gas.
Acetone odor: A smell like "rotting apples or persimmons"
Since acetone is metabolized and excreted from the body,
it seems to be a sign of fat burning, so it's not necessarily bad for your health.
What was shocking was
Stink bug odor: Exactly the smell of a stink bug.
This is a type of aldehyde, so it's toxic.
If you trap a stink bug in a sealed container,
the stink bug itself will also meet its maker.
It's caused by a substance called 2-hexenal,
and scrubbing too hard actually seems to be counterproductive.
I can hear you saying you've had enough of this stinky talk,
so let's talk about some good smells too.
Apparently, there is such a thing as a "seductive scent"💕
It's a scent unique to young women,gamma-lactoneis the substance.
However,it decreases significantly in your 30s😱
So what are we supposed to do after 40?💢
I can hear that voice coming.
Rest assured.
I haven't overlooked the countermeasures👍
Improving your gut environment
Yes, the trendy gut health activity.
Do you already know about that?
Understood.
Then let me provide a little more information!
Copilot, it's your turn!
1. Incorporate through food
Eat plenty of fruits and fermented foods. Peaches and strawberries contain gamma-lactone. Yogurt and cheese contain components that assist in the production of gamma-lactone.
2.
CassisRich in polyphenols and effective in reducing the causes of aging body odor. Continuing to consume it increases gamma-lactone.
3. Coconut
The unique sweet scent of coconut is also due to gamma-lactone.4. Apricot
Like peaches, they contain a lot of gamma-lactone. You can buy them year-round as jam, syrup-soaked, or dried fruit.5. Fresh cream and butter
Fresh cream in particular is rich in Lactone C11, which is said to be close to the scent of young women.
Now you'll be popular with everyone too! 💕
Come to think of it,
Choosuke Ikariya said it on "Hachiji Dayo! Zenin Shugo," didn't he?
Whether it was at the beginning or the end of the show.
Take a bath.
Brush your teeth.
That was a revelation for body odor prevention.
Thank you for reading until the end. 😊
