    How to prevent smelly armpits/WILLIAM WANYOIKE

    Smelly armpits are caused by bacteria breaking down sweat.

    To prevent this, shower daily with soap, especially after sweating.

    Shaving or trimming underarm hair can reduce odour by limiting bacterial growth.

    Use antiperspirants or deodorants to control sweat and odour.

    Wear clean, breathable clothes made of natural fabrics like cotton.

    Avoid spicy foods and alcohol, which can worsen body odour.
