Bad Morning breath? 5 Foods Can Fight a Foul Mouth
By Cynthia Sass, Registered DietitianWTSP-TV Tampa
It's something we all think about and probably all worry about but nobody likes to talk about it – bad breath. These days the number of breath fresheners in check out lines practically outweigh the number of candy bars, but we all know that mints and gums just cover up bad breath, and they don't last long. But, what you eat can make a big difference – and I'm not just talking about avoiding garlic. I've got 5 foods that are both good for you and your breath:
1) Yogurt. Bad breath is caused mostly by bacteria and a recent study found that eating one serving of yogurt with live active cultures reduced the amount of bacteria in the mouth. It also reduced plaque and gum disease.
2) Apples, especially tart ones like Granny Smiths. If you've ever bitten into an apple, you know how it makes your mouth water. When those juices are flowing, food particles and bacteria are washed away!
3) Red peppers and
4) citrus fruits – both are high in vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid. Vitamin C creates an environment that doesn't allow bacteria to grow and it keeps gums healthy.
5) And finally, fresh herbs. Instead of gum, chew on a sprig of fresh mint or parsley. They're a lot more potent than mint flavored gum and they're loaded with disease fighting compounds.
