An unpleasant and persistent male organ
odor is a major issue for many men, and one that can be off-putting to
potential partners. A man may have scored big points for his charm, looks, wit
and other factors, yet lose them all when he drops his trousers and a strong
stench emanates forth. Proper male
organ care is definitely needed
to address this problem, and that may include making a change in one’s
diet.
Causes
Male organ odor of varying
degrees is common among men, and for several reasons. The hair surrounding the
member creates an “insulating” factor which increases the likelihood of sweat.
The fact that blood rushing to the member during states of tumescence increases
the heat quotient also contributes, as does the common practice of enclosing
the manhood beneath both a pair of trousers and a pair of underwear. All this
makes for a heated situation, creating sweat and adding bacteria to the area
which results in odor.
Diet
However, some men find that
making alterations in their diet can have an effect on their overall odor
issues, including those specifically related to the manhood. This is because
what is consumed by the body has an impact on what is released from the body,
including what is released through the sweat glands.
With that in mind, the
following are a few tips on changes to the diet that may help reduce the
pungency of the male organ odor a man produces.
Water. One of the biggest
factors affecting general odor is dehydration. When a man does not drink enough
water, his system doesn’t get “flushed” properly. It is easier for odor-causing
bacteria to become concentrated and therefore be more potent. Also, there is
less chance for the broken-down food components to become more diluted and less
strong.
How much water should a
person drink every day? This is difficult to answer, as it ultimately depends
on a person’s height and weight, level of activity, amount of sweat produced,
etc. However, the general guidelines from the Institute of Medicine recommend
13 cups (about 3 liters) every day for an adult male.
A man can also receive
hydrating benefits from other fluids; clear juices are best for this. Coffee
and tea can have an odor-enhancing effect.
Fruits. Many fruits help to
produce a more appealing smell, while at the same time assisting with the
hydration issue. Among the fruits recommended for helping to fight odor are
plums, pineapple, oranges, grapefruit, lemons, limes and mangoes. So adding
some lemon or lime to one’s water helps provide an extra boost.
Herbs. A number of herbs are recommended for a more appealing aroma.
Chewing on a few spearmint leaves or adding a little cilantro to the diet can
make a difference.
Beware:
Fish and some vegetables. While it’s good to include
fish and vegetables in the diet, some are more likely to cause odors; figuring
out the proper amount to eat and still maintain a healthy balance between diet
and odor is helpful. Among the vegetables to approach with a degree of discretion
are asparagus, broccoli, onions, garlic and Brussels sprouts.
While altering the diet can
help reduce male organ odor, proper hygiene is still essential to get to the
root of the problem. Every man’s daily manhood health routine should include
the use of a first-rate male
organ health crème (health
professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil). A crème with vitamin A, which
has potent anti-bacterial properties, is especially valuable for fighting
persistent male organ odor. Sometimes odor also results from unhealthy skin.
Fighting this issue requires a crème that delivers a combination of natural
hydrators, such as Shea butter and vitamin E. By keeping the member
well-moisturized, the skin will be healthier and better able to withstand odor
onslaught.
