Lots of causes: Body odor is affected by hygiene, the foods you eat, how much you sweat, and the bacteria on your skin. Antiperspirants can help cut down on the amount of sweating, especially if applied at night before going to bed, when you are least sweaty. Foods like onions and garlic can also increase the odor.
