Discover A Supermarket Bad Breath Remedy That Isn't a Mouthwash
One of the unfortunate things about bad breath is that we may
not know we have bad breath until we speak. By this stage, we
will have engaged in a social or business situation where we may
cause people to recoil from us - even if subconsciously - at the
very moment when we are trying to improve our relationship with
them. If this group knows us well, this is less of a problem.
Friends are more likely to be forgiving of the little things
about us that perhaps jar them. But if we don't know these
people well, we may have just sullied the all important first
impressions that are the crucial beginning of any relationship -
social, intimate, or business.
Bad breath is undoubtably a problem - frustrating, and usually
recurring. Perhaps it gets covered up by mints and candy, but
there are situations when we cannot always be chewing on gum.
Its unprofessional in a business meeting, impractical when we're
having lunch, and impossible when we're intimate with someone.
Bad breath is caused by bacteria. More specifically, the
volatile sulfur compounds that are the result of the breakdown
of two sulfur containing amino acids, methionine and cysteine.
These bacteria live in the mouth and throat, and because they
are anaerobic bacteria, they do not live on the surface of the
tongue. They actually exist in the fibers which the tongue is
made up of.
The bad news is that you cannot get rid of these bacteria
permanently, despite the promise of some bad breath treatments.
And you actually wouldn't want to, despite the inconvenience
they cause when they are working overtime to produce bitter
tasting and bad smelling metabolic byproducts. These bacteria
are actually part of the digestive process, which begins in the
mouth. You
need them, and they need you!
There are things that make this normal aspect of digestion
worse, however. Foods like dairy products and eating too much
protein. That's why one very common side effect of the high
protein Atkins diet is bad breath. The proteins in these foods
gives these bacteria more 'fuel' to create even more volatile
sulfur compounds. They are just doing their job, with very
unpleasant after effects. And coffee contains acids which allow
the bacteria to multiply. So for the social situations where you
want to minimize bad breath, its a simple thing to avoid these
foods and drinks.
Tea, on the other hand, can stop the growth of these bacteria.
Researchers in Chicago at the University of Illinois have found
that the polyphenols in tea can not only reduce the output of
the volatile sulfur compounds by 30%, but they make it harder
for the bacteria to multiply. The polyphenols active in this bad
breath remedy are catechins and theaflavins. Catchetins are
found in both green and black tea, and theaflavins are only
found in black tea. So a strategy to prevent bad breath might be
to avoid the alcohol at important lunches and dinners, and drink
black tea instead! Alcohol, because it dries your mouth out,
will aggravate bad breath.
