coffeebeansHaving bad breath can be a very embarrassing situation. However, this is a condition practically everyone goes through in their lives. Most of the causes of bad breath are smoking, dieting, having some illnesses like cold, and/or some drinks you drink. However, having bad breath is not the end of the world. There are things that can be done to get rid of it.

Bad breath is something that all of us have. Unfortunately some of us have it much worse then others. There are many things that can cause bad breath.

Anyone who suffers from a dry mouth will also most likely battle with bad breath. Many people do not connect the two together – but according to health experts the bad breath is caused by the dry mouth. Saliva is important to people because it produces enzymes that help to digest the food we eat, balances the pH or acid levels in the mouth, and produces high amounts of oxygen that helps to keep the oral tissues healthy.

Any situation that leads to reduced saliva flow is prone to cause bad breath. Our modern environment with air-conditioned cars, workplaces and public buildings makes us prone to dehydration due to increased evaporation. This leads to reduced saliva flow and more concentrated saliva, so it?s important to increase fluid intake to compensate for the dehydration.

This is exactly what happens at night: because we don’t eat for around eight hours, the saliva slows down and leaves us with a dry mouth. The result is the dreaded ‘morning breath’!

Well, the new discovery will help you to somehow eliminate your breath odor.

This intriguing new research from Tel Aviv University by renowned breath specialist Prof. Mel Rosenberg of TAU’s Sackler Faculty of Medicine finds that a coffee extract can inhibit the bacteria that lead to bad breath. New laboratory tests have shown that the extract prevents malodorous bacteria from making their presence felt ― or smelt. “Everybody thinks that coffee causes bad breath,” says Prof. Rosenberg, “and it’s often true, because coffee, which has a dehydrating effect in the mouth, becomes potent when mixed with milk, and can ferment into smelly substances.” But not always. “Contrary to our expectations, we found some components in coffee that actually inhibit bad breath,” explains Prof. Rosenberg. The findings were presented last month to members of the International Society for Breath Odor Research in Germany by Yael Gov, a researcher in Prof. Rosenberg’s laboratory.
