Do Older People Actually Smell Different?

Changing your diet with age

Foods like fish, spices, and red meat can impact how you smell. After our food is broken down in our bodies we release the chemicals through our sweat, which can sometimes be very strong!The amount of water in our daily diet is another reason for body odor. The more dehydrated we are, the worse our breath can smell. A dry mouth is the perfect place for bacteria to grow, as it’s not being washed away by saliva or water.
