Bad Breath Remedies At Home

February 15th, 2008

For many, bad breath just comes and goes, like after a aromatic meal, but gone by the next day. For others however, this sensation is more long lived, in fact, it can be almost permanent. Close contact with loved ones and even the taste of food are no longer the joys they once were. Bad breath remedies are available for anyone who wants to cure their chronic bad breath, and if you can’t afford a hefty doctor’s fee for this advice, never fear, there are plenty of things you can do to counter you bad breath woes. Here are a few of them you can do at home.

Brushing and Flossing

As obvious as it might sound this is easily overlooked when looking for causes of bad breath. General oral care is foremost in the fight against bad breath, if your mouth is not taken care of then nothing else you do will matter. Start with the obvious and work from there. Brush three times a day, followed by flossing, followed by a gently brush of the tongue and finished off with a good gargle with mouthwash.

Avocado Can Help

The lowly avocado is one of the other simple bad breath remedies. A healthy portion of avocado is known to help relieve chronic bad breath, which is a blessing for those around you, but don’t eat too much. Just peruse the produce aisle of your local grocery and get yourself one of these completely natural, and good tasting bad breath remedies.

Too Much Protein

Protein fuels bad breath. The bacteria in your mouth that are the source of the vast majority of your bad breath need protein to multiply. Reduce the amount of protein you are taking and your bad breath might abate. This is particularly true for people on high protein diets, which includes certain athletes, and those using this method to simply lose some weight.

Drink Lots Of Water

Our body is about two thirds water. Drinking more water is not only great for your general health, but also for your bad breath. This most simple of the bad breath remedies requires little time on your part. Water helps keep the mouth free of little bits that help make your breath stink. If is recommended that you drink about six to eight glasses of water per day, space them throughout the day and more water is better than less.
