Why Do I Have Bad Breath?To put it bluntly, people usually have bad breath because of what they eat. That's because bad breath is caused by bacteria in your mouth. There are bacteria in your mouth all the time. They're small and quiet, so you won't notice them.However, when enough of them accumulate, they can cause your breath to smell less than minty-fresh. Depending on what you eat, your bad breath could be a slight annoyance, or it could be strong enough to bowl anyone over. Why Parsley?Parsley has been used for years as a natural remedy for bad breath. Researchers have said that parsley does two things for your mouth. First, it has a naturally fresh scent that seems to neutralize odors in your mouth. Second, parsley contains high levels of chlorophyll, which may work to combat the high sulfur content of bad breath.Scientists who have been researching parsley as a bad breath fighter say that the effect of parsley is better if you chew on the leaves of parsley after every meal. Be sure that the parsley you are chewing on is fresh. Do you have questions about how to use parsley to fight bad breath? Why not give us a call and let us help you put bad breath out of your mind. |
