What is the smell of old people? Is it true? Thai herbs can help!

"Old smell," or scientifically called Nonenal, is caused by our body producing a type of fatty acid and reacting with oxygen to smell.

In addition to the high-tannin Persimmon Extract, there are many "cheap and easy-to-eat" Thai herbs and foods that have antioxidant properties and reduce this reaction.

Here's a list of herbs and alternative foods that help you:

1️⃣ Green Tea - Best Persimmon Doppelganger

This is the easiest choice.

Why it helps: There is a very high catechin in green tea, which has a similar property to tannins in persimmons, which inhibits bacteria and antioxidants, from reacting skin fat to smell.

How to eat: Drink 1-2 glasses of hot or cold green tea a day, or you can use a brewed green tea to mix the bath.

2️⃣ Lemon and Citrus Fruit

Why It Helps: Vitamin C and Citric Acid are fine antioxidants that prevent 2-Nonenal fats from oxidative reactions. Also, the refreshing aroma helps deodorize the body directly.

How to eat: Drink freshly squeezed lemonade mixed with warm morning water, or eat oranges / guavas, regularly.

3️⃣ Ginger (Ginger)

Why it helps: Ginger stimulates blood circulation and helps sweat (Detox), keeps hair follicles from clogging, and also contains high antioxidants, reducing the accumulation of waste in the body.

How to eat: sip hot ginger juice, or bring ginger for food, such as ginger fried chicken.

4️⃣ Soybeans and tofu

Why it helps: Older smells are caused in part by hormones that change as they age. In soybeans, there are "isoflavones" (Isoflavone) that help balance hormones, and there are antioxidants that help slow down cell degeneration.

How to eat: Drink 1 glass of tofu juice (reduce sugar) a day. Very easy to buy by market or convenience store.

5️⃣ Turmeric

Why It Helps: Curcumin Substances in Turmeric. It is a Super Antioxidant that reduces inflammation and removes toxins in the body, which indirectly results in reduced body odor.

How to eat: Take a steep turmeric capsule, or have a yellow curry / wild curry with turmeric.

💡 More tips (very important)

Eating herbs alone may not be enough. You must adjust your eating habits for the best results:

Avoid fries and animal fats: Because these fats go to increase the amount of skin fat, a precursor to Nonenal smell.

Drinking Lots of Water: To Help Expel Waste from the Body to Lighten Sweat

Use the right soap: If you don't want to buy expensive persimmon soap, try "alum" or "mangosteen" soap (with tannins) to deodorize it well at a low cost.

Conclusion:

If the focus is the easiest and most economical, I recommend starting with "green tea" and "lemon juice" on a regular basis. These two produce the closest odor and antioxidant results to persimmon at a much cheaper price.
