Is body odour a medical problem? What triggers it and how should I treat it?
A. Body odour is caused due to the breakdown of organic substances that are present in the secretions of certain sweat glands. The formation of sweat alone does not cause odour, it is only when it is accompanied by bacterial decomposition. Taking frequent showers, using a combination of anti-bacterial and anti-fungal dusting powder, deodorants and perfume only on clothes and not on the skin can help. Q. What to do when I am unable to strike a balance between home and career? Give me tips to reduce stress. A. The line between work and home should never blur. Time management is important. Sharing of responsibilities takes care of the load. Never carry stress from work back home and visa versa. Once you step out of office, close the chapter and look forward to spending time at home. Use the travel time between office and home to unwind by listening to music or catching up with friends on phone. Similarly, while at work, plan a special time like a coffee break or lunch hour for home relate
