Your gut is home to most of the microbes in your body, but your skin, mouth, lungs, and genitalia also harbour diverse populations. And as research continues into body biomes, it should reveal answers about how these microorganisms are promoting health or even disease.
Mouth. Mouth is one of the dirtiest places of the human body. There are more than 700 million different types of bacteria living in an average person's mouth. These bacteria feed and multiply in your mouth, especially, the Streptococcus bacteria which feed on sugar and starchy carbohydrate foods that you consume .
Having a large concentration of apocrine glands in the armpits and groin makes these areas susceptible to the rapid development of body odor.
Belly button or the navel is probably the most ignored part of the body. If it is not cleaned regularly, it will not only lead to buildup of dirt but also bacteria. The dark, moist environment of the belly button is ideal for breeding of bacteria.
The cleanest thing in the world is a special clean room, with only about 100 germ particles per cubic foot. Your room probably has more like 500,000 to 1 million particles per cubic foot. Scientists use clean rooms to study things without contamination from bacteria or viruses.
“Your body naturally detoxifies itself through actions in the liver, kidneys, and the colon,” she says.
Start by washing the shoulder, upper body, arm, and hand. Move to the hip, legs, and feet. Rinse each area free from soap and pat dry before moving to the next. Check for redness and sores during the bed bath.
The results of our meta-analysis indicate that women generally outperform men in olfactory abilities. What is more, they do so in every aspect of olfaction analyzed in the current study. However, the effect sizes were weak and ranged between g = 0.08 and g = 0.30.
Yes, men and women really do have distinctive scents. And thanks to Swiss researchers, we even know which chemicals are responsible for the difference. Both male and female sweat feature 3-hydroxy-3-methylhexanoic acid and 3-methyl-3-sulfanylhexan-1-ol, but they're not present in equal amounts.
Why won't your armpits stop smelling? Bacteria are to blame, and there are at least three places where you could be missing them even after the shower: your skin, your hair, and your clothing.

Gently wash your penis each day. Carefully pull back and clean underneath the foreskin, as well as the tip of your penis (the glans) using only water and a very gentle soap. Don't scrub this sensitive area. It is fine to use soap, but using too much could irritate your penis.
What's the worst that can happen if you leave a few dead skin cells lingering on your back? The most likely consequence will be a dull complexion. Again, it won't kill you. But it can lead to back acne, better known as bacne.
If you stick with daily showers, limit them to five minutes with warm water, not hot. This is likely fine for most people. However, bathing 2-3 times per week is also likely just as healthy and good for the environment too.
While your heart is a vital organ, the brain (and the nervous system that attaches to the brain) make up the most critical organ system in the human body. The human nervous system is responsible for coordinating every movement and action your body makes.
