1. Detoxify Your Body
   
   Eliminate alcohol, coffee, cigarettes, sodas, meat, refined sugars and saturated fats from your diet. Water is the safest natural remedy to detoxifying your body so drink plenty of it. Eating vegetables and lots of fruit are other ways. Steam baths or saunas are also ways to cleanse your body.
   
   Food and drinks, such as soda, onions, garlic, curry, chili are also prime causes of BO. These foods are likely to give you terrible smelling gas and urine. Fried and baked goods may contain rancid fats and oils that lead to body odor.
   
   It's always good to detoxify at some point. Things like aches and pains in the joints, constipation, low energy level and exhaustion are signs shown by your body in trying to tell you that it's time to detox.

2. Brush Your Tongue
   
   Bad breath is offensive. While most people brush their teeth everyday, the most common part of the mouth that they overlook is brushing the tongue. Believe it or not, your tongue is a source of many mouth odors including halitosis, and chronic bad breath. Everything that goes into your mouth no matter what is it passes over your tongue, and by brushing it you'll reduce lots of bacteria growth.

3. Wash Your Clothes
   
   Be sure to pick a detergent that not only has good cleaning agents but one that has a deodorizing fresh scent that will give your clothes and clean fresh smell. Any type of perspiration that escapes hits your clothes first and certain odors or stains can be hard to get rid of.
   
   Also remember that loose fitting clothes allow the body to breath better than tight clothes.

4. Bathe Daily
   
   It is imperative that you bathe daily to remove bacteria from your skin, especially the armpits and groin area where the bacteria is most prevalent. Scrub the armpits with a soapy washcloth as that will work better to remove the bacteria than just soap in your hands. Deodorant soap is preferable as it helps fight bacteria more than regular soaps. If you have a serious odor problem, soak for fifteen minutes or longer in a tub of water with three cups of tomato juice added.
