Bad breath is an embarrassing symptom that affects one's mood and social life. Besides periodontal disease, bad breath caused by dry mouth is also becoming increasingly common recently. Recently, the Japanese portal "All About" introduced measures to prevent bad breath.
Increasing saliva secretion can prevent bad breath
First, cut food into large pieces. Large pieces of food 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 foods, to increase chewing次数 and help with saliva secretion. Third, eat light meals. When cooking, use less salt and sugar to keep the flavor light. This encourages you to chew more to taste the food, thus promoting saliva secretion.
There are also four types of foods that have the effect of preventing bad breath
First, 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, 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 eliminate odors.
Third, vegetables
The chlorophyll in them has antibacterial and deodorizing effects. Yellow-green vegetables are particularly rich in chlorophyll. You can drink fresh vegetable juice or eat a salad to get the full benefits of chlorophyll.
Fourth, sour fruits
The citric acid in sour foods has antibacterial and saliva-promoting effects. If you have signs of bad breath, chewing a dried plum or eating a citrus fruit, an apple, etc., can be an emergency measure to prevent it.
