Bad breath begins in your stomach and is released through your esophagus and mouth. It you’ve ever had something very sweet right before bed, you’ll remember the rancid stink that emitted from your mouth the next morning!
The key to breaking your bad breath problems is diet. Avoid most sweet foods (fruit is OK) and avoid eating any sweet foods with fats. Also avoid caffeinated products as caffeine can cause very heavy odor on your breath.
If you have a particular problem with haliotosis, bring a toothbrush with you to work. Don’t forget to brush your tongue and gums lightly as well to remove any food residue.
Some people suggest using mouthwash, but I do not. Often mouthwash is full of very heavy chemicals that can get into your system and cause premature aging (this results from your body working overtime to detox these chemicals).
Be sure to floss regularly! Not flossing is a major cause of bad breath. If you can’t floss (like me, as I have braces at the moment), use those little dental brushes that go between teeth.
As always, drink lots of hot water to help keep your digestion moving and clean out your stomach.
