Bad breath

Have you ever suffered from a case of bad breath❓

Most people experience this ailment from time to time and it can feel embarrassing and be hard to control.

The usual culprits that spring to mind might be smoking, hard boiled eggs and tuna sandwiches but there are also some surprising reasons your breath might be reeking 💫

. . ⭐ On a high protein diet? It may actually be causing smelly breath. The high protein content in food such as steak, eggs, chicken and milk can cause foul smelling gasses to be produced.

. . ⭐Dehydration can mean you don't produce enough saliva to keep your mouth healthy and fresh.

. . ⭐Having a sweet tooth can leave your breath smelling less than fresh. Eating sweets, chocolate, peanut butter and even citrus fruits feeds the bacteria in your mouth with the sugar it loves. In turn this can cause smelly decay and infection.

. . ⭐Spicy food and other strong tasting foods and drinks can leave a lingering bout of bad breath.

. . ⭐Nasal problems, infection and congestion can produce an unpleasant smell and taste.
