wht r causes of bad breath and plz tell me its precautions?

Answer 1

Everyone knows that certain foods have a reputation for causing bad breath. Possibly the two of the most notorious ones are garlic and onions.

When we eat our digestive system breaks the food we have consumed down in to its component molecules, some of which have very unpleasant and characteristic odors. As these molecules are created they are absorbed into our circulatory system and distributed throughout the remainder of our body as nourishment.

As our blood travels through our lungs some of these molecules will be released into them. Therefore when we exhale our breath will contain some of these offending molecules. As a result we will find that they have bad breath.

While this type of bad breath can be annoying or embarrassing this is not the type of breath problem we discuss on the subsequent pages of this topic. Bad breath caused by the consumption of certain foods will resolve on its own in a day or so as your body completes the process of breaking down and utilizing or else excreting the offending molecules. You can control this type of bad breath simply by avoiding or minimizing your consumption of these foods.

Answer 2

If enough care is not taken to protect the teeth and surrounding tissues, bad smell wafts around from the mouth.
Best thing to do is brush teeth early mornig with a good brush and tooth paste. Also at night before sleeping.
After every meal, wash your mouth ( gargle), with clean water. if the bad breath is too much, gargle with 'mouth washes' available.

Answer 3

All the answers above are excellent, but you may need a colon cleanse, because you may have unexpelled gas. Try a spoon of honey, or some yogurt. You can even get some Milk Thistle at your health food store. Once you expel the gas your breath should clear up.
