Dietitian Reveals Best Ways to Improve Body Odor
New Jersey-based dietitian Erin Palinski-Wade revealed those foods in a study via Fox News, and they are as follows: Fish, spices, vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts and red meat.
On the flip side, Palinski-Wade also gave a very helpful tip and named some foods that can help improve body odor.
"Foods like apples, leafy greens, yogurt and green tea may help to neutralize odor-causing compounds and support beneficial gut bacteria, which can reduce unpleasant body odors."
Palinski-Wade gave some more information and tips to improve body odor.
"Staying well-hydrated and focusing on supporting metabolic health by improving quality sleep, reducing stress and staying active can all help to improve overall body odor."
Of course, the best way is to bathe regularly, which seems obvious.
Other ways to do so are cutting down on foods that are rich in sulfur, cutting down on spicy foods and drinking more water.
It's a big issue, and a study in 2024 showed that 72% of men are anxious about how they smell, per the New York Post. On that note, 51% didn't know how to fix that issue.
It seems that Palinski-Wade has given quite a few suggestions for those looking to cut down on their body odor.Dietitian Reveals Best Ways to Improve Body Odor first appeared on Men's Journal on Jul 15, 2025

Walking 7,000 steps a day a huge boost to health: research
People who walk 7,000 steps a day have a dramatically lower risk of a broad range of serious health problems, the largest review of the evidence yet said Thursday. The most widely promoted target for people tracking their number of steps is 10,000 -- but that figure reportedly originally came from a 1960s marketing campaign for a Japanese pedometer. To find a more scientific target, an international team of researchers sifted through 57 previous studies that covered 160,000 people. The results published in the Lancet Public Health journal found that walking 7,000 steps a day nearly halved people's risk of early death from all causes, compared to 2,000 steps. The study also looked into health problems not previously covered by research into step counts. Walking 7,000 steps a day was linked to people's risk of dementia falling by 38 percent, depression dropping 22 percent and diabetes decreasing 14 percent. It was also associated with lower rates of cancer and falls, though the researchers warned this was based on less evidence. "You don't need to hit 10,000 steps a day to get major health benefits," Paddy Dempsey, a study co-author and medical researcher at Cambridge University, told AFP. "The biggest gains happen before 7,000 steps, and then benefits tend to level off," he said. While people's speeds vary widely, 7,000 steps adds up to roughly an hour of walking throughout the day. Dempsey emphasised that people already managing 10,000 or more steps should keep it up. But he had a message for people who might find 7,000 steps daunting: "don't be discouraged". "If you're only getting 2,000–3,000 steps a day, aim to add an extra 1,000 steps. That's just 10–15 minutes of light walking spread across the day," he said. Andrew Scott, a researcher at the University of Portsmouth not involved in the study, said that "it demonstrates that overall more is always better". "People should not focus too much on the numbers, particularly on days where activity is limited," he added. The World Health Organization recommends at least 150 minutes of moderate to intense physical activity a week. Nearly a third of people worldwide do not reach this target, according to the WHO. dl/giv

Bill Would Force Hospitals to Warn If They Aren't Equipped to Save Premature Babies
Hospitals would be required to disclose how they make key decisions regarding extremely premature infants in a bill set to be introduced Thursday by Sen. Tom Cotton (R., Ark.). The legislation is in part prompted by a Wall Street Journal investigation last year that found mothers had been told no lifesaving measures were possible for their extremely premature infants, even though other hospitals nearby offered care for infants born at similar gestational ages.

The 6 Best Cereals to Help Lower Blood Pressure, According to Dietitians
Wake up and help lower your blood pressure with these 6 cereal picks. Reviewed by Dietitian Katey Davidson, RD, CPT Your breakfast choices can have a real impact on your blood pressure. Too much sodium, sugar and saturated fat can raise it, while nutrients like fiber and potassium help keep it in check. Surprisingly, breakfast cereal can be a smart choice—if you pick the right kind. Research shows that high-fiber, low-sugar cereals may support heart health and lower the risk of hypertension (high blood pressure). But not all cereals are created equal—especially sugary ones with cookie pieces, chocolate and marshmallows, so it's best to steer clear of those. Instead, check out these six options. 1. Alpen Muesli No Sugar Added 'I recommend that clients add muesli to their cereal lineup,' says Patricia Kolesa, M.S., RDN. Any kind of unsweetened muesli can support healthy blood pressure, but Alpen's No Sugar Added variety is a particularly smart choice. It includes a mix of oats, wheat flakes, dried fruit and nuts, providing an excellent source of fiber—one of the most important nutrients for blood pressure. 'Fiber has been shown to be supportive in overall heart health by lowering blood pressure,' Kolesa says. The negligible sodium (20 milligrams, or less than 1% of the Daily Value) is another point in this cereal's favor. Nutrition info for ⅔ cup (60g) without milk: 210 calories, 3.5 g total fat, 0.5 g saturated fat, 0 mg cholesterol, 43 g carbohydrates, 7 g fiber, 6 g sugar (0 g added sugars), 8 g protein, 20 mg sodium 2. Bran Flakes Sometimes the best and healthiest options are the most basic. 'I recommend plain old bran flakes,' says Lisa Andrews, RD, LD. 'They provide 10% of the Daily Value for calcium (and higher with milk). As part of the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet, high-calcium foods help lower blood pressure.' She points out that bran flakes are also high in fiber, with 1 cup providing an impressive 10 grams. Just be sure to check labels for sodium, as some brands of bran flakes are surprisingly high. Nutrition info for 1 cup (50g) without milk: 180 calories, 1 g total fat, 0 g saturated fat, 0 mg cholesterol, 38 g carbohydrates, 10 g fiber, 8 g sugar, 5 g protein, 292 mg sodium 3. Bob's Red Mill 7-Grain Hot Cereal If you prefer a cozy, warm breakfast, try Bob's Red Mill's 7-Grain Hot Cereal. It's packed with a variety of grains, including wheat, rye, oats, triticale, barley, brown rice and oat bran. Kiran Campbell, RDN, says she's a fan for its 6 grams fiber, 0 grams added sugars and 0 milligrams sodium per serving—all of which are great for healthy blood pressure. Cook this seven-grain cereal on the stovetop, in the microwave or in the slow cooker for a warming morning porridge. Nutrition info for ¼ cup (40g) without milk: 150 calories, 1 g total fat, 0 g saturated fat, 0 mg cholesterol, 30 g carbohydrates, 6 g fiber, 0 g sugar (0 g added sugars), 5 g protein, 0 mg sodium 4. Post Shredded Wheat Shredded wheat cereal has been around since 1893—and this oldie continues to be a goodie for blood pressure. 'This is one of the top widely available cereals for helping reduce blood pressure,' says Avery Zenker, RD. It's also packed with nutrition, including being high in fiber and free of sugar, saturated fat, sodium and cholesterol. 'In addition, it naturally contains micronutrients that can also support healthy blood pressure and heart health, including potassium and magnesium.' Nutrition info for 1⅓ cups (60g) without milk: 210 calories, 1 g total fat, 0 g saturated fat, 0 mg cholesterol, 49 g carbohydrates, 8 g fiber, 0 g sugar (0 g added sugars), 7 g protein, 0 mg sodium 5. Simple Truth Organic Toasted Oats Cereal According to Campbell, oats are one of the top ingredients to look for in a cereal that supports healthy blood pressure. 'Oats and barley contain a soluble fiber, beta-glucan, which may help lower blood pressure, especially in those with a higher BMI (body mass index),' she says. In fact, a 2023 study found that oat consumption significantly reduced systolic blood pressure, particularly among people with hypertension. With oat flour as its first ingredient, Simple Truth's Organic Toasted Oats Cereal certainly fits the bill. At 1⅔ cups, the serving size is pretty filling, too. For even more nutrition, add fresh berries or a banana for extra fiber and potassium. Nutrition info for 1⅔ cups (39g) without milk: 150 calories, 2.5 g total fat, 0 g saturated fat, 0 mg cholesterol, 30 g carbohydrates, 3 g fiber, 2 g sugar (1 g added sugars), 5 g protein, 150 mg sodium 6. Kashi Autumn Wheat Whole Wheat Biscuits Despite their name, Kashi's Autumn Wheat Whole Wheat Biscuits are a great source of nutrition year-round. 'Kashi Autumn Wheat Whole Wheat Biscuits is a blood pressure-friendly cereal that is packed with 7 grams of satiating fiber and protein per serving and no sodium,' notes Sheri Gaw, RDN, CDCES. 'Pairing Kashi Autumn Wheat with a nonfat or low-fat milk and fruit is a great DASH diet breakfast since it provides fiber, lean protein and minimal sodium and added sugar.' Meanwhile, the cereal's simple ingredient list features only three ingredients: organic whole-grain wheat, organic natural flavor and organic cane sugar—ideal for folks who enjoy a bit of added sweetness. Nutrition info for 32 biscuits (60g) without milk: 200 calories, 1 g total fat, 0 g saturated fat, 0 mg cholesterol, 47 g carbohydrates, 7 g fiber, 7 g sugar (7 g added sugars), 7 g protein, 0 mg sodium Cereal Pairings to Help Lower Blood Pressure To further support your blood pressure, try these healthy suggestions: Pair with fruit. Whether fresh, frozen or dried, fruits like berries, bananas and apples add fiber and potassium—two important nutrients for healthy blood pressure. Use reduced or low-fat milk. Research is still teasing apart the complex relationship between dairy and heart health, but the American Heart Association continues to recommend low-fat milk. Pay attention to calcium. Don't miss out on calcium for your blood pressure. Cow's milk and fortified plant milks are good sources of this heart-healthy mineral. Check sodium levels. Some cereal brands sneak in more sodium than you might realize—so be sure to read the nutrition label carefully. A low-sodium cereal is one that provides 5% or less of the Daily Value per serving. Our Expert Take To start your day off right and to support healthy blood pressure, pick cereals rich in fiber and other beneficial nutrients like potassium and calcium. Also keep an eye on sodium, sugar and saturated fat, which can be found in excess in some cereals. Knowing what to look for in breakfast cereals helps to take the pressure off—in more ways than one.
