Smells like....

My best friend and I have these long conversations about chemical attraction.  Of course he has a ridiculous amount of information about all the things that can change in a female and alter this….all derived from an ex-gf that kinda went crazy after changing her birth control.  His theory is that all the chemicals in the products we use in and on our body, alter a person’s body chemistry.  I have to admit I kind of thought he was full of crap.  But on his suggestion, I switched to a more natural body wash that isn’t scented and put my perfume on my clothes, not my body.  The perfume was no big deal but the body wash is.  I train a lot.  I get other people sweat on me.  I get rolled into and squished into the mat.  And I sweat like a fat person.  So getting clean and getting rid of germies is a big deal.  So I apprehensively switched my body wash.  Easy part was the perfume. 
I still feel clean and have had no germy issues.  But the weirdest effect is how much I can smell.  Or not smell.  Im ridiculously sensitive to foul odors, especially food ones.  Like gag reflex sensitive.  The really strange part for me is how much I don’t smell other people.  Unless Im attracted to them, and then their smell is intoxicating.   

This was a simple change from something that I didn’t even think about how it was altering my body chemistry.  It makes me think a whole lot more about the processed foods that go in my body, with ingredients I can’t say, more or less know what they are.  We do have a liver for that but seems like a simple thing to remove to take some stress of the liver. And a good reason to eat whole foods.
