Morning breath is a type of halitosis or bad breath that is really unappealing to wake up to on a bright new day. There can be many reasons connected to diet and poor gut health that can lead to bad breath. Here are some foods which can help.
A rich source of probiotics, yoghurt helps to improve gut health and digestion. And a healthy stomach is the surest way to wake up without morning breath.
Ginger activates essential enzymes in the saliva that help to break down odour-causing sulphur compounds. Chew on dry ginger and ward off morning breath.
Use herbs like parsley and spearmint which are known to treat bad breath. Spices keep the gut healthy, which leads to reduced risk of morning breath.
Rich in fibre, raw vegetables require more chewing so they increase saliva production. This quickens the digestive process and prevents food from rotting in the gut, which in turn reduces bad breath.
Green tea contains catechins that fend off odour-producing bacteria. Sipping on it will burn calories and reduce an overall tendency of suffering from bad breath.
