Doctors named the main reasons preventing fresh breath. Often this problem is associated with the development of a number of diseases, and not only with the use of, for example, onions and garlic.
So, bad breath can be caused by the development of chronic kidney failure, problems with the gastrointestinal tract, complications of diabetes, cirrhosis of the liver.
The zone of increased reproduction of bacteria, as a result of which "work" creates an unpleasant smell, is the nasopharynx, additional sinuses and tonsils. Inflammatory and allergic processes contribute to excessive production of mucus. Then there is an accumulation of mucus, food residues and bacteria in the recesses of the tonsils. Caseous plugs are formed, which have an extremely unpleasant smell.
Bad breath can be one of the first signals about the initial stages of oral and nasal cancer.
Constant dryness in the mouth, which occurs due to taking some medicines, can also provoke bad breath. For example, from high pressure, depression, anxiety.
Food residues in the mouth and the use of sweets (especially chewing candies and caramel) can spoil the breath. Such food provokes the growth of harmful bacteria.
In addition, an unpleasant smell can be the result of a lack of carbohydrates against the background of a large amount of protein food, for example, when following a carbohydrate-free diet. The fact is that the body in this case begins to burn fat cells, in the process of which waste (ketones) are formed, which cause an unpleasant smell. To remove them faster, it is recommended to drink plenty of clean water.
The consequences of eating a number of products, including onions, garlic, smoked fish and all kinds of spicy dishes, should also not be forgotten. One of its components, allyl methyl sulfide, which does not break down during digestion, gives the unpleasant smell of garlic to breath and sweat. It is impossible to eliminate such a bad breath, even if you brush your teeth after eating.
