Why do you have the "old man smell" when you are old?

Because of the smell of old people, 80-year-old granny Chen jumped off a building.

What is this all about?

Chen Granny has 3 sons, but the eldest son and the second son have relatively light feelings for their mother, so Chen Granny has been living with her youngest son.

The original youngest son is very filial, but 5 years ago, the attitude of the youngest son changed, especially since the youngest daughter-in-law, often sees her, avoids her far away, said the body smell, and smells uncomfortable.

Later, Chen's grandmother every day is alone in the room, eating is also alone because the son and daughter-in-law do not want to eat with her at the table, thinking she smells.

The younger son later thought that the older brother and the second brother should also do their filial duty and support their mother, and eventually negotiated for the three brothers to take turns taking care of the elderly. So, Granny Chen went back and forth to the three brothers' house in this way.

However, Chen Granny is too old to bear such torment, plus the three sons have always stressed that Chen Granny smells, and always looks disgusted when facing themselves, so Chen Granny is very hurt, thinking that this is only the reason why the children do not want to support themselves because she does not smell anything, for this reason, Chen Granny mood day by day low, and finally due to depression from the upstairs jumped down.

About the elderly smell, the family elderly friends, may have experienced. What's wrong with that old man's smell?

A people are old, why there will be "old man smell" on the body

When people get old, there will indeed be a special smell, which is a normal physiological smell.

With the growth of age, especially after forty or fifty years old, the metabolic capacity of the body will be significantly reduced, and the body will produce more ω-7 unsaturated fatty acids, by oxidation, degradation will produce a substance called 2-nominal, this substance has a greasy taste, rotten grass taste so that people will feel the uncomfortable smell. Among the men because of smoking, drinking, and other factors, emitting the "old man smell" will be heavier than women.

In addition, some poor dietary habits, chronic diseases, such as diabetes, chronic kidney disease, kidney failure, and other factors will also lead to an increase in body odor.

Therefore, when the smell elderly, promptly investigate the disease factors and then targeted to develop of a program to get rid of the smell of the elderly.

Second, bathing can get rid of the elderly smell on the body.

If it is just a physiological smell, can you get rid of this smell by taking a bath?

The answer is: bathing can get rid of the smell of the elderly to a certain extent.

Because of the smell of the elderly, and aging, metabolism is slowed down, and the skin surface easy to produces dead skin, that did not clean up in time has a certain relationship. And diligent bathing can help get rid of dead skin, to help reduce the smell of the elderly.

And want to reduce the smell of the elderly, in addition to bathing, the diet should also pay more attention to the diet as light as possible, and easy to digest. Because people get old, digestive function declines, and teeth gaps become larger, if you still keep the habit of large fish and meat, and did not promptly remove food residues, will also lead to the smell of the elderly, especially the taste of the mouth, getting heavier. You should pay attention to rinsing your mouth and brushing your teeth in time after meals.

In addition, clothing, bed sheets, and bedding should also be replaced and cleaned promptly. When cleaning, you can add some clothes softener, and soak a bubble, so that the smell is more fragrant, and can cover up the elderly smell to a certain extent.

It is important to emphasize that if the elderly smell is aggravated by disease, the primary disease needs to be treated in time to reduce the elderly smell. For example, diabetes is caused by the timely control of sugar, blood sugar stabilization in the normal indicators, and the odor can be reduced.

If these can do a good job, then the elderly smell can be greatly reduced.

Third, people are old, these 3 parts do not have to be too clean

It is right to pay attention to cleaning, but after people get old, these 3 parts can be a little, do not have to be too clean.

1, navel

Generally speaking, the navel does not need excessive cleaning, because this "mud", helps maintain a normal navel temperature, to avoid heat dissipation too fast, thus affecting the spleen and stomach function, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. And the wrong way to pick the navel, such as too much strength will easily lead to skin damage, resulting in bacterial infection.

So this part does not need frequent cleaning, but if there is too much "navel mud", the navel has a bad smell, the navel into the foreign body, etc., it is necessary to promptly clean the navel.

2、Ears

The main reason for cleaning the ears is to feel that there is earwax, but the human ear canal has a self-cleaning effect, so it is generally not necessary to clean it often. Otherwise, improper cleaning, excessive force, and the ears being more sensitive, it is easy to hurt the ears, which may cause inflammation, cause hearing damage, and other problems.

3, nose

This part also does not need excessive cleaning, usually avoid using your hands directly to dig the nose, because the hands of more bacteria, such as those not cleaned, hand bacteria easily into the nose, triggering nasal infections. If there is a booger blockage, you can promptly clean, it is recommended to wash your hands first, or in the fingertips pad with a clean tissue, then open your eyes, control the strength, can start your cleaning work.

Fourth, the body has these 2 kinds of odor, be careful of disease to find

Under normal circumstances, the body does not give off a bad odor, if these 2 kinds of odors, promptly seek medical attention to investigate the disease and target treatment.

● Bad breath

If you exclude the oral odor due to the consumption of garlic, leeks, onions, and other irritating food, be alert to oral diseases, including dental caries, gingivitis, periodontitis, etc. These patients are prone to bacteria in the mouth, especially anaerobic bacteria, the decomposition of the residue is easy to produce a corrupt taste of sulfide, smelling very bad; in addition, chronic gastritis, functional dyspepsia, Helicobacter pylori infection and other patients, patients with chronic gastritis, functional dyspepsia, and H. pylori infection are also prone to bad breath.

Stinky urine

If the urine is heavy and unpleasant, beware of urinary retention, cystitis, prostatitis, urethritis, and other diseases, especially when accompanied by frequent urination, urinary urgency, incomplete urination, and other discomforts, be alert to the occurrence of the disease.

The fact is that you'll be able to get a lot more than just a few of these. Therefore, we should not be overly harsh to the elderly or even dislike them. Of course, the elderly themselves should also pay attention to management, adjust their diet, and do a good job of hygiene and cleanliness, to reduce the smell of the elderly to do some efforts.
