Bromhidrosis (body odor) can be caused by one of our sweat glands (not eccrine, just apocrine), by the foods we eat (onions, hot red peppers, garlic) and by poor hygiene habits (not washing our hair or body regularly). If the body odor is caused by sweating, eating foods that contain zinc can help reduce such odor, according to Binghamton University.
