Have you ever noticed that once a person reaches the twilight of life, there will be a special smell on his body, which is the "old man's smell".
To be honest, this "old man's smell" is more pungent and smoky, which makes many people stay away.
Especially for the elderly living in rural areas, the reason why they do not take a bath for a long time may be that the body odor is heavier, and many people are uncomfortable when they smell it. Some people are even scared when they smell it, thinking it is the smell of death.
We know that newborn babies also have a special smell, and people will also have a body odor when they reach old age, and I think it may be related to the metabolism in the human body.
As we age, the body's metabolism slows down, and the body's oil production decreases, resulting in possible changes in body odor. Produces an unpleasant odor.
But what I want to say today is that if we come into contact with some elderly people who smell like this, please don't dislike them. Because each of us will get there, it's just that the time hasn't come yet.
Those who can have contact with the elderly for a long time are generally the relatives of the elderly, like sons and daughters-in-law. But after a long period of contact, it is inevitable to have disgust, especially the old man's daughter-in-law, who speaks ill of the old man.
There is a daughter-in-law in our village who dislikes the "old man's smell" of her mother-in-law, and the grandchildren of the old man also avoid the old man, afraid of her body odor.
This makes the old man very sad, everyone is full of children and grandchildren, she is a child and grandchild, it is really desolate and sad in her later years.
After the old man has the smell of the elderly, it means that they are in their last years, and the time to leave is running out, and relatives and friends should spend more time with the old man to prevent the old man from leaving in loneliness.
