Food That Promotes Bad Breath
For anyone who is seeking the often elusive answer to why they are experiencing bad breath, food simply must be considered.
If you concentrate on eliminating certain types of foods, you may be able to pinpoint the cause of your bad breath. Food that is high in fat, dairy products, sugar, meat and spicy food could all cause problems. Some people have a problem digesting leafy vegetables, dairy products and meat. Food that has a high content in acid, fat or protein does not always digest well and it can emit gas, which results not only in flatulence, but also in bad breath.
Food that contains a lot of sugar is a problem because the odor causing bacteria in the back of the throat feeds off sugar. Exotic spices, onions and garlic contain sulfur compounds, which actually create odor. Odor is transmitted not only through the breath, but also through the blood, they enter the lungs and have the ability to emit bad odor for up to twenty-four hours.
Some cheese, such as Roquefort, Camembert or blue cheese can be a good source for bad breath; as well as spicy meats, and fish such as tuna and anchovies can also produce bad breath. Coffee is an acidic beverage, tending to dry out the mouth and leave an even more potent odor.
Of course, it is not all bleak because drinking lots of water will keep the mouth moist and lessen the effects of bad breath. And eating fruits can also help. Pineapple, kiwi and papaya all contain digestive enzymes, which help to break down other elements in the digestive system and thus help you to avoid bad breath.
If you are not certain which foods give you problems, all you need to do is to pay attention when you introduce different foods into your diet. You should be able to determine in a short time which foods are the culprits behind the problem with bad breath.
