According to a more recent 2012 study, people’s ability to distinguish the smell of older people from that of others may be linked to a subconscious connection to our ancestors. Like animals, we can determine a person’s age and health simply by their smell.
In Japan, this smell has a name: “kareishu,” and many companies create products to combat it. Perfumes, shower gels, and other deodorants help neutralize it. One of its ingredients, persimmon, is believed to completely remove 2-nonenal from the skin.
Exercise boosts metabolism, which helps balance hormones and reduce stress. Another important point is to wash your clothes regularly.
2-Non-ethylbenzene can easily accumulate in fabrics, so it’s a good idea to wash your clothes more often. Eating a healthy diet rich in antioxidants and water is also beneficial for your skin. Dehydration not only dries out skin but can also contribute to bad breath and body odor.
Hygiene is just one step, but the easiest way is to let fresh air into your home! Aging is inevitable, and it’s natural for our bodies to change. But showing compassion, respect, and love to older adults never goes out of style.
