5 Reasons why you have a bad breath

It’s actually normal to wake up with a bad breath. However, it is quite abnormal, if after brushing, flossing, mouthwashing and eating nothing, your breath still stinks. Actually, it is a serious problem as it is not healthy and also embarrassing.

You may wonder why your breath stinks despite cleaning your mouth. Well, here are 5 reasons why.

1. Reducing carbs
Decreasing carbs and increasing your protein consumption can cause bad breath. Why? They make your body break down fat for energy and create ketones. And these excess ketones really stress your kidney.

2. Skipping meals
It could be intentional or for fasting reasons, but it poses serious risks to your breath. Not eating will decrease the production of saliva and this will lead to bacteria with bad breath as the end result.

3. Chewing gum excessively
These gums come with invisible sugars that can result in the piling up of sticky plaque on the teeth. That will foster bacteria and then, bad breath.

4. Dehydration
This can lead to halitosis since bacterias in the mouth will keep growing the longer it stays dry.

5. Strep Throat
Strep is a bacterial infection, not a virus. And they aid bad breath according to a popular medicine expert, Dr. Grbic. Other types of sinus infections can be responsible as well.
