Mouth odor is never a good thing, it can chase even your
friends away from you and you won’t blame them, no one would love to
continually perceive an odor that would leave them frustrated.
If you expect your spouse to still tolerate you even if you
have a bad mouth odor, you are wrong. Bad breath is quite offensive and it can
stop your man or your lady from kissing you. You really shouldn’t let your
breath ruin your relationship.
It’s the responsibility of every mature person to take care
of their body, and so many people take this for granted.
One interesting fact to note is that the bacteria in food
causes bad breath and also there are some foods that can just help reduce that
odor that just won’t go away.
I bring you 7 natural foods that can help you improve the
way your mouth smells.
1. WATER
Interestingly, water can help make your mouth fresh. A dry
mouth is a breeding ground for bacteria and this is where the power of water
comes in. Clean water just helps keep the mouth fresh for a period of time; so
one with bad breath ought to continuously drink water. Water helps flush away
bits of food that bacteria feed on, so drinking water regularly is just a plus
for a fresher breath.
2. YOGHURT
Consumption of yogurt can help reduce odor-causing
bacteria hydrogen sulphide. Active cultures in yogurt can help fight bacteria,
and yoghurt with probiotics would also help fight bacteria. Do I see someone
rushing to a shop to get one? Lol
3. APPLES
Apples and other fiber-rich foods like carrots help fights
halitosis (a condition of severe bad breath). Foods like this help generate
saliva and saliva is a natural mouth cleansing agent. You really need to get
some apples and carrots handy.
4. VITAMIN C
Eating fruits rich in vitamin C would help make the mouth a
dangerous place for bacteria. Vitamin C would help keep the mouth in check as well
as fight gum diseases and gingivitis which is a major cause of halitosis.
5. LETTUCE
Lettuce is extremely useful when it comes to fighting bad
breath. Methyl mercaptan is a gas that causes a bad odor in the mouth just as the
food is digested. Lettuce is useful here because it helps keep this in check.
6. GREEN TEA
Green tea is very useful for health purposes and it’s also
extremely useful in fighting bad breath. Green tea contains polyphenols which
is a type of antioxidant that helps fight against the growth of bacteria. Green
tea is useful so that bacteria don’t have a hiding place in the mouth.
7. MILK
Drinking milk can help combat bad odor in the mouth,
however, it would be less effective when it’s taken immediately after a meal.
There is an interesting fact about milk; the fat in milk neutralizes sulphur
while the water in milk can act as a rinsing agent. Milk really is one
effective food.
Now you know these foods, do not give bad odor a chance in
your mouth. Don’t chase that man or that lady that likes you because you have bad breath.
