Bad breath is an embarrassing symptom that affects one's mood and social life. Besides periodontal disease, dry mouth has also become an increasingly common cause of bad breath recently. Recently, the Japanese portal website "All About" introduced measures to prevent bad breath.
Increasing saliva secretion can prevent bad breath. First, cut food into larger pieces. Larger pieces require more chewing次数和时间, which helps promote saliva secretion. Second, eat more high-fiber foods, such as root vegetables, beans, and dried vegetables, to increase chewing次数 and help with saliva secretion. Third, eat lightly; use less salt and sugar when cooking. A lighter taste will encourage you to chew more to savor the flavor, thus increasing saliva secretion.
There are also four types of ingredients that have the effect of preventing bad breath.
First is green tea. The catechins in it can kill the bacteria that cause bad breath. Besides drinking tea, you can also chew tea leaves to prevent it.
Second are aromatic herbs. For example, chamomile and mint contain antibacterial ingredients that can kill oral bacteria and prevent bad breath. Drinking herbal tea not only cares for your mouth, but its aromatic scent can also deodorize.
Third are vegetables. The chlorophyll in them has antibacterial and deodorizing effects. Green-yellow vegetables are particularly rich in chlorophyll. You can drink fresh vegetable juice or eat a salad to get the full benefits of chlorophyll.
Fourth are sour fruits. The citric acid in sour foods has antibacterial properties and promotes saliva secretion. If you notice signs of bad breath, chewing a dried plum or eating a citrus fruit, apple, etc., can provide a quick fix and prevent bad breath.
