smell. what sweat does is creates this perfect environment for bacteria and fungus to grow and that's why feet end up smelling. so number one is good foot hygiene. clean your feet well. keep them as clean and dry as possible. in terms of sock, stay away from pollest polyester and nylon and change them every day. >> you can't recycle socks. kids in college, i can't turn them around inside out a >> right, guys? >> boys do that. >> why do people get constipated when they fly? >> you have to think what goes in goes out. one of the biggest culprits is dehydration. people don't drink enough water. you need to stay hydrated. you're eating different things. things with not enough fiber. people have bathroom anxiety. if you're not in your usual routine because you're changing

if it's sweating profusely everywhere and it's something new, go to see someone about it. it could be an underlying problem and if it's related to fever, night sweats, see someone and get it checked out. >> not that bad. thank you very much, dr. azar. what's cooking in the kitchen? >> i'm making a garde
