Why Do Old People Smell?

I was with some friends a few weeks ago and we visited a senior center to do some volunteer work.  It was a very rewarding experience, however afterwards one of my friends asked why old people smell.  We had some fun discussions about whether they were showering, or whether it was the food they eat.  Someone even said they thought it was the smell of decaying tissue!

When I got home I thought I would look into it. What I found was amazing.  The moldy, stale, old smell we were experiencing was the body’s response to being toxic.  Most of the time we have no idea that we are toxic or smell, it slowly but surely develops and grows, but due to the years of exposure to foreign particles, we have no idea of what to do with what has caused significant back up to our bodies’ filtering systems.  These are the kidneys (how we remove water soluble toxins), our colon and liver (how we remove fat soluble and sold toxins), our sweat (the backup water soluble toxins), and our mouth via saliva and air (the final back up of toxin removal). This is also why when people drink a lot of alcohol their breath, and body smells like alcohol.

I did some further research to try to figure out how to support these systems to prevent them from backing up.  I found a ton of information out there.  The most solid information on research was outlined and developed by Metagenics.  Their 10 day metabolic detoxification process incorporates diet changes, focused nutritional support, exercise and stress management to rest all four places that toxins are processed and eliminated.
