Eggs

Eggs possess sulfur-packed compounds, which can make your gas smell funky.

Also, a small percentage of individuals have a genetic condition called trimethylaminuria, resulting in the body’s incapability of breaking down a bad-smelling compound and can result in a general fishy body odor.

Curry

Curry spices, especially cumin, stay in the body for as long as a couple of days after eating it. So even though you may love curry, it’s worth being thoughtful about when and where you eat foods containing it.

Even a little bit of cumin in a dish can produce a body odor. But you can often swap this smelly spice with something more pleasantly aromatic, like cardamom.

It’s a seed in the ginger family.
