Besides these, the tastes of many elderly people will also change. Even if you love cleanliness, at a certain age, you will still have different degrees of body odor.
1, 2- nonanal increased.
Data show that people over 40 years old will secrete a substance called 2- nonanal on their skin. Most of this substance will have greasy taste and rotten grass taste.
The older you get, the more 2-non-aldehyde will be on the skin surface, and the smell of the elderly will become heavier and heavier.
2. Slow metabolism
At a certain age, the speed of metabolism will gradually slow down. If the metabolic rate of human body can't keep up with the intake rate of human body, it may produce body odor.
3. Excessive oil secretion
Body odor is not only related to metabolism, but also to the development of sebaceous glands. If the sebaceous glands secrete too much oil, the body odor of the elderly will be more obvious. It is precisely because of this that the average male elderly person will have a heavier body odor.
4, the signal of the disease
Old people have a bad smell, which may also be a signal of some disease. If it smells like rotten apples, it may be caused by diabetes.
Diabetes causes fat to oxidize in the liver, producing a substance called acetone. When this substance enters the blood, it will make people's breath smell like rotten apples.
If it smells like rotten cabbage, it may be caused by hypoglycemia. In addition, if you suffer from digestive tract diseases or oral diseases, it may also aggravate your body odor.
The smell of the elderly is really bad, and many people are sensitive to it, so we can take some precautions in our lives. So how should we prevent the odor of the elderly?
1, choose a light diet
The metabolic ability and digestive ability of the elderly have declined, so we should give priority to a light diet in life, insist on less oil and salt, and reduce the physical burden.
Step 2 pay attention to hygiene
Old people are prone to oral problems, so we should pay attention to gargling and brushing our teeth frequently in life to reduce the occurrence of bad breath.
If you have bad breath for a long time, it will also give people an unpleasant feeling. Secondly, we should also do a good job in personal hygiene and change personal clothes in time, which can greatly reduce the occurrence of odor.
In addition, the quilts and pillowcases used by the elderly should also be replaced and aired, which can not only reduce the breeding of parasites such as mites, but also reduce the odor.
3. Exercise properly and sweat.
The elderly can do proper exercise, which can not only effectively detoxify, but also enhance their physical fitness. Moreover, insisting on exercise can also help improve the individual's metabolic rate and reduce the smell of the elderly.
Because the physiological function of the elderly is weakened, joints and knees can't withstand intense consumption, so the elderly should take moderate and safe exercise as the premise, such as playing Tai Ji Chuan and dancing square dance.
It should be noted that no matter what preventive measures are taken, the smell of the elderly is inevitable at a certain age, but it is only a matter of smell.
If there is the smell of old people, you can check what causes it, and then take care of it according to the specific situation. In addition, doing the above points well will also have a good auxiliary effect on preventing and improving the taste of the elderly.
