Everybody is familiar
with this phenomenon. Most of us have a
friend or relative who can
clear out a room when they kick off their shoes. And even
the sweetest smelling person can do a decent job stinking up
a pair of shoes by running a few miles in them. So what's
going on here? Why do your feet have a stronger odor than
the rest of you does?
The main thing that
feeds foot smell is sweat With more than 250,000 sweat
glands each, your feet are among the most perspiring parts
of the body. In one day, each foot can produce more than a
pint of sweat! Sweat is basically just salt and water,
though, so it doesn't have a distinctive smell of its own.
The smell is actually caused by bacteria on our skin that
eats the sweat and excretes waste that has a strong odor.
It's perfectly normal to have bacteria on your skin, and it
doesn't ordinarily produce a noticeable smell, but sweat
attracts bacteria and gives them a whole lot to feed on.
Of course we sweat all
over -- our hands have a comparable number of sweat glands,
for example -- and most of the rest of our body doesn't
particularly stink (the armpits being a notable exception.
So what's different about our feet? The answer is our socks
and shoes. The sweat our feet excrete can't easily escape
into the air like the sweat our hands excretes -- it all
collects on our skin and in our socks. The bacteria love
this dark, damp feast and have a sort of feeding frenzy.
When you take off your shoes, the smell that hits you is all
the bacteria excretion that's collected on your feet and in
your socks and shoes.
The main reason some
people's feet (or more precisely, some people's socks and
shoes) smell worse than other people's is that some people
sweat more than other people. This is just one of the many
variable physiological qualities of human beings. This is
also why sometimes your feet smell much worse than at other
times -- it all has to do with how much you sweat.
So, since foot
odor is caused by bacteria digesting sweat, there are two
main ways to reduce the stink. You can decrease the amount
of bacteria on your feet and decrease the amount of sweat
that collects on your feet and in your shoes.
Grans Remedy takes care of this problem for
you by reducing the amount of bacteria that live on your
feet. No bacteria - No smell.
