Protect body odor

Protect your body odor

1. Keep Yourself Clean

Shower at least once a day and you'll wash away sweat as well as reduce the number of bacteria on your skin. Washing thoroughly, especially areas prone to sweating, can reduce body odor.

 2. Use Antibacterial Soap

 Washing thoroughly with an antibacterial soap bar will reduce the bacteria count, in turn reducing the odor.

3. Towel Off Thoroughly

Once you've showered, be sure you dry yourself completely. Towel off and make sure you dry any areas where you sweat a lot.

4. Apply Deodorants or Antiperspirants

Once you are clean and dry, use a strong deodorant or antiperspirant on your underarms. While deodorants do not prevent sweating, they mask the smell of bacteria on your skin. Antiperspirants contain aluminum chloride, a chemical that reduces sweating, and often also contain a deodorant.Apply the deodorant or antiperspirant twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening.

 5. Keep Your Wardrobe Squeaky Clean

Change clothes often when you're sweating heavily. Fresh clothes help keep body odor down.  

 6. Cut Out "Offensive" Foods

Foods that tend to make you sweat more, such as hot peppers or other spicy foods, might also contribute to body odor. And the aroma of foods such as onions or garlic can be carried in the sweat, making you smell bad.

6 Tips for mother-in-law and daughter-in-law

                6 tips for mom-in-law and daughter-in-law

1. Responsiblility The primary responsibility for maintain cordial relations lies on mother-in-law. Because she is the one who arranges a bride for her son and brings her to the home. Since the bride is a newcomer in the family she may not be much familiar with the customs of the family. It is the mom-in-law who should teach her friendly manner.
2. Treat Daughter-in-Law Like ur Own DaughterA mother-in-law should consider the bride like her own daughter.She should ignore her small mistakes . She must show patience as the girl is likely to take some time to adjust in the new family. She should know that the girl has been brought up in totally different environment. So a period of time is required to transform into the new style.
3. Respect the Parents of Your Daughter-in-LawOne of the best methods to win the heart of your daughter-in-law is to pay due attention towards her parents. When they visit your home treat them nicely.Frequently ask about their well being from daughter-in-law. If they are in trouble like sickness, ask your daughter-in-law to go home and look after them.
4. Do not InterfereDo not interfere in the personal affairs of your son and daughter-in-law. Do not impose your will upon them unnecessarily. Everybody has own likes and dislike which should be respected.
5. Do not be possessive A mother may feel that her son has been snatched by a newcomer in the shape of daughter-in-law. She thinks that she has been rearing her child for 25 to 30 years and now all of a sudden someone  is trying to take away the son. This is wrong. A mother should realize that it’s now time for her son to rear his own family independently.
6. The Role of Grandchildren You love your grandchildren but at the same time do not have any obligation. The responsibility to rear the children is that of your son and daughter-in-law, hence you should just watch and enjoy.

     Though the relations between a mother-in-law and a daughter-in-law are sensitive, a positive attitude and nice behavior coupled with a sense of tolerance from both sides can make this relationship amazing.

Summer foot care tips

•                 Summer Foot Care Tips

1. When you're wearing tight shoes, foot perspiration can be a problem. Where there's moisture, there's the potential for a fungal infection. You're more prone to colonization with bacteria that can produce odor. Wash your feet several times a day if necessary, but be sure to dry your feet thoroughly before putting your shoes back on.

4. If you do lots of walking on your job, treat yourself to a professional foot massage every few weeks.

5. You want to avoid the accumulation of moisture in your socks which can make you more susceptible to a foot bacterial or fungal infection. Change into clean, dry socks several times a day in warm weather.
