Bad Breath Home Remedy

It is estimated that Americans spend more that half a billion dollar each year for mouthwash. New York Times health columnists once said that she received more questions about bad breath than any other common medical problems.

Some consider it a nuisance while others perceived it as a bad luck curse that hinders social life.

There are many reasons to bad breath. The obvious would be dirty mouth from trapped food, gum disease or even eating garlicky meals. Sinusitis or diabetes can also cause bad breath. It is also believed that poor elimination and constipation could also trigger the problem.

 

By the way, mouthwashes normally would only cover the odors and not solve the problem, which is why we keep on buying it day after day. Take note that foul breath is always a sign of some internal disorder and mouthwashes will not be able to fix the problem.

 


What Should You Do ?

1) Clean Your Tongue
Cleaning your teeth is the basic of good health, but not many people clean their tongue. So make sure your brush your tongue too.

A study by Dr. Kenichi Hojo of Tsurumi University in Yokohama, Japan found that yogurt may be beneficial in solving bad breath problem. "Yogurt intake may improve oral hygiene, namely tongue-coating bacteria and halitosis," he said.


2) Keep Clean Mouth
At least thorough brushing twice a day. Floss regularly because trapped food smells bad. Rinse your food after every meal.

3) Wet Your Mouth
A dry mouth will equal to smelly breath. Saliva is an ally. So, chewing sugarless gum or sucking on mints will help reduce odors by stimulating saliva’s production.

4) Relax
Stress and anxiety could also be the cause of bad breath. Prolonged stress will make the normal digestion impossible. As the bowel contents are retained, toxins are reabsorbed, causing coating of the tongue and foul breath.

5) Eat healthy food, properly
Eat your fruits before your meal and do not eat your fruits and vegetable at the same time. You will see this recommendation again and again. Healthy food and juices will help you avoid most disease. In this case, celery and carrot will fight plague and odor. Apple is very recommended

6) Water to the rescue
You must make sure you drink enough water daily. Studies have shown that cases of bad breath are improved by drinking enough amount of liquid. When we say water, we mean either you drink freshly squeeze juice or distilled water - not soft drinks, of course.

7) Drink afterwards only
Only drink after 15 minutes of meal. Do not drink during the meal (including soups) because it will only weaken the digestion process. Studies have ahown that poor digestion is related to bad breath.
