Many people might not think that having a breath problem could become a deal breaker in their relationship. Unfortunately, however, it can be. I knew a guy in college who had been dating a girl for only two months when she gave him an ultimatum. Either he was to lose the smelly breath or she was gone. Try as hard as he could, he was unable to get rid of his mouth odor. After she left he was devastated. If you feel your relationship is already on shaky ground because of your breath problem then you need to read on to start curing bad breath.
A word of caution at this point. Even if your relationship is in jeopardy because of your problem breath, don't immediately run out for any over the counter quick fix. It won't work. Many over the counter remedies will merely cover up your breath odor while some will make it worse. Remember the idea here is to solidify, not ruin your romantic relationship. But don't worry, curing bad breath can be done effectively and inexpensively.
Just, how do you go about curing bad breath to save your romantic relationship ? The answer is to use the following 5 homemade remedies as part of a proper oral hygiene regimen:
1. Herbs - Most breath problems occur because of volatile sulfuric compounds produced in your mouth when you chew food. These compounds smell like dirty socks and rotten eggs. Not a pleasant taste to have in your mouth by any means. Herbs contain properties that actually neutralize these compounds and eliminate problem breath. These herbs include parsley, coriander, spearmint, tarragon, eucalyptus, rosemary and cardamom. Begin curing bad breath by chewing on fresh herbs or use them in hot water as a tea.
2. Yogurt - That's right, yogurt. But it's got to be sugarless yogurt and contain live cultures. Eating 3 ounces of yogurt daily for up to six weeks will significantly reduce the level of bacteria in your mouth. Make sure that you check the label for live cultures of Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus
3. Crunchy fruits and vegetables - This include apples, celery, and carrots. These fiber enriched foods are not only tasty and nutritious but chewing on them will increase the amount of saliva in your mouth and, as a result, reduce plaque buildup which causes mouth odor.
4. Fruits enriched with vitamin C - Any foods enriched with vitamin C, including berries, melons, and citrus fruits will create an environment in your mouth that actually inhibits the growth of volatile sulfuric compounds which are the real source of your mouth odor.
5. Green tea - The inherent properties of green tea, also known as poly-phenols reduce the amount of bacterial growth and therefore the amount of volatile sulfuric compounds in your mouth.
Now imagine how it would feel to hold your soulmate in a long embrace without having to worry about your relationship because your breath is clean and healthy. Follow the information in this post and you can make it happen.
