When I improved my diet and switched from soft drinks/juices to water my sweating problem almost disappeared completely. It can't be stressed enough how important your diet is for reducing the sweat.

There's no need for you to completely overhaul your diet. On the other hand, start small by drastically reducing the amount of junk food you're consuming (if you're eating any) and the highly processed foods. Swap them for more wholesome, organic foods and I'm pretty sure you'll see some difference (at least this has helped me).

Btw try not to drink water from plastic bottles since you're trying to reduce the toxins inside your body. Get yourself a metal/aluminum bottle, the ones people use when they go hiking.

I hope it helps.

Thx for all the advises! Currently my diet is pretty good, i drink a lot of green tea and "bo-ree-cha" which is a korean cold tea drink, and sometimes plain water. I eat a decent amount of fruits and alot of vegies, but since im korean and a lot of korean side dishes are pickled or fermented (I would say atleast 80% of what i eat is pickled lol). I kinda wondered if the pickled side dishes could be causing a bad smell, even though its all vegies.

It's kinda hard for me to eat raw vegies cuz well, basically nothing is raw in the fridge and i don't have the pocket money to buy raw every other week, i know im poor lol. For now im basically eating what i usually eat, but less of the pickled stuff and eating more raw lettuce and tomatoes cuz we have a lot. I also just started taking chlorophyl liquid tablets since vegies supply chlorophyll for a healthy body, hopefully itle help. I'm also waiting on my zinc tablets which i should get within a week, ill post results a week after i start the zinc tabs.

Again thx for all the support! I wish i found this forum earlier...

Hey, na hangook sadum ya too! I only speak english though.

Why are you drinking green tea, boreecha and eating kimchi? Don't you know caffeine and spicy foods only increase your HH?

I don't eat much Korean food anymore, except for bul go gi and kalbi once in a while, I barely ever eat kimchi or other pickled stuff, so I can't tell you whether that's increasing your feet smell, but I can tell you that caffeine and spicy foods dont' help with your sweating!

I drink green tea almost every day now, and can eat spicy foods and drink other caffeinated drink, but only because I do iontophoresis treatments and my hands don't sweat anymore (as long as I keep up with the treatments).

Try iontophoresis! The homemade ones are cheap, so you have no excuse!

If you don't sweat anymore, you won't have the pahl nemseh, lol

Hello! Drinking green tea/boreecha doesn't seem to make me sweat more like coffee and soda does. I barely eat kimchi, never liked it growing up, but i do eat other pickled/spicy stuff like gatugee and those spiced sprouts. I know spicy foods cause sweating, but it never occurred to me that korean food would be considered spicy ENOUGH to make a difference, cuz i compared it to thai food which is super spicy. Either way, i am cutting back on korean food, and maybe try doin a subway diet for a week lol. $5 footlong for vegies and little meat all raw with no spices added, good deal.

BTW, i also tried the homemade ionto's awhile back and i almost fried off my feet (Like that would be a bad thing...). So i most likely messed up somewhere along the lines or im just not electric savvy at all. But I might try it again, i just hope none of my family members sees me trying it out, might look like a self suicide in an electric foot dish or something lol.

Edit: i found this article that basically says Caffeine in tea doesn't raise blood pressure like coffee. Basically higher BP = more sweat which might explain the lack of effect on me. I also hate coffee with a passion cuz i drank coffee in the morning before school in my senior year and it felt like i was walking in a river of rotten water :*(, worst day of my life.

IhateHH I don't know what's your financial situation but you've got to do better than SubWay footlongs

These are just empty calories...no nutrients at all. I'm sure you can do better than that.

How are you physically? Are you fit or are you more on the heavy side?

IhateHH · 02-01-2010, 09:08 PM

Haha well.. lets just say my current income is from taking surveys everyday lol. I thought subway would be alright since i like everything on it, and i mean every vegie available, minus the oils.

Physically im pretty fit, im on the normal body mass side. Im about 5'10" at 140lbs, i got a LITTLE chubby since my social life is down the drain and im just at home most of the time. My normal weight is around 130. I also do exercise, which would include walking my dogs yay lol, boxing, and some dumbell lifting. I used to go to a gym, but i draw a lot of attention to myself from my foot odor, and it makes me very anxious and ill just leave.

Maybe try convincing your parents to help you out with the "additional" cost of the healthy food.

I'm not going into why fast food food is worthless cause I might just get a bit too long

You don't need to be a genius to figure that out.

Neither I have a big income but a lot of it goes into my nutrition since I've realized that health is everything.

You don't need to go to the gym if you don't have the ambition to seriously develop your body. Just do pushups and pullups and you'll be more than good.

I know I said this before but be sure to drink a lot of water!

Ex-HH · 02-02-2010, 05:19 PM

I also find keeping a good sleep schedule and a morning workout or jog to be effective in decreasing stress and HH. I wouldn't recommend eating subway because it's just bascially fast food. Also try eating local food rather than imported ones. If you know where to look, they are actually cheaper too. You've mentioned that you only drink plain water sometimes. I suggest that you should drink more plain water than tea. How much water do you drink daily? I would suggest keeping a water bottle with you all day and just keep filling up and drinking whenever you can. Don't want to be gross here, but maintaining a good bowel movement is also important. Good luck.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think that tea contains stimulants. Green tea for example is used by many people when they want to loose weight/get lean.

Just stick to the water...it's good for ya
