I must admit that, I do have bad breath. I might not be able to smell it myself, but I have been told by a couple people that confirm this. Which makes me wonder all the time now, do people hate talking to me because of my breath or just plain hate talking to me. Moving on, I just ran across this article on what contributes to bad breath and what can help prevent it. As I sit here eating some Lunchables® and a Dr. Pepper® here are some of the key points:

What causes bad breath:

• Lack of Saliva in the mouth, especially in the morning
• Acidic foods and beverages; soda, alcohol, dairy products
• High protein foodds

What can help in your fight against bad breath:

• Obviously brushing multiple times a day
• Drinking 6-8 ounces of water a day
• Eat watery foods: celery, cucumbers, carrots
• Start with breakfast, helping build up saliva

One in 3 people suffer from bad breath, and they don’t realize it because the brain becomes used to the smell. So if you see people taking a little scoot away when you’re hovering over their shoulder, dusting them with your horrible breath, start off with these few little tips and before you know it you might actually have some friends.
