Clicked for you:

Old people smell comes from lipid peroxidation on top of the skin. And if you don’t have enough antioxidants, that smell builds up

The proposed solution is eating mushrooms.

Mushrooms are packed with the amino acid ergothioneine, a powerful antioxidant with anti-inflammatory properties that stops lipid peroxidation before oldie odor can accumulate.
