How To Get Rid Of Bad Breath

Health And Fitness : Top Health Tips

Bad breath is probably most common in the morning, as we produce less saliva whilst we sleep at night and therefore causes a dry mouth. Brush your teeth twice a day for at least 2 minutes. Also if you eat some sugary food, brush them about 30 mins afterwards so it doesnt eat away at your teeth. Floss once a day and dont forget to brush your tongue too.

Drink lots of water and avoid foods such as onions and garlic. Low carb diets force your body to burn fat which produces a chemical which makes your breath smell worse. So eat an apple or banana to help banish it.

Dairy foods are often a cause of bad breath as well so try to avoid these.

Try mints or chewing gum as a quick freshener throughout the day, or take your toothbrush to work. Use a mouthwash to rinse out after you brush.

If it persists, it may be a sign of a medical condition so make sure you see your doctor to discuss any problems.
