It’s no secret what causes Bad Breath so why is it such a big problem?
To begin with the foods we eat cause most of our breath problems. We all know that coffee, onions, garlic and many more foods and drinks are the cause. If you understand how and why all this happens it can greatly aid in getting rid of bad breath. While food is the main cause simply by cutting down on their intake will help a whole lot.
Garlic and onions for example are made up of a lot of sulfur which is the same sulfur that makes eggs stink. If you don’t want to have stinky breath then simply cut down on your sulfur intake.
Now fish while great for the body is very high in protein (good for the body) which is not good for your breath. The protein is converted to sulfur and we all understand what sulfur can do.
Other good things like cheese and milk and dairy products in general are super rich in proteins. The protein is the breeding ground for all the little bacteria that causes bad breath. By breaking down the lactose protein and releasing the amino from the dairy products we once again are creating sulfur. See a trend here?
Both coffee and alcohol have the same effect. While not a food they both aid in different ways to an increase in sulfur. While its very tough to cut down on things that you like its also critical to reducing bad breath. So if you want to reduce bad breath cut back on the intake of sulfur producing foods and drinks and you will go a long way to reducing bad breath.
