There is something about the special nights; just thinking about them makes our mood better and our smile wider. We often put so much effort into dressing up and managing everything that sometimes the most important part gets neglected and can cause a blunder if not done right.
Yes, you all guessed it right; we are talking about how bad breath can make everything go in vain despite all the efforts and hard work. It is extremely important to avoid bad breath as it can be a mood breaker for your partner, and I’m not gonna lie, being a girl, nothing is more disgusting than bad breath, and that too on a special night where you are in a good and joyful state of mind.
Here are some Foods that you should avoid at all costs to combat Bad Breath and its consequences:
- Garlic
While it’s not unexpected that garlic made the list, what might surprise you is how garlic’s sulfuric flavor can leave its mark on more than just your tongue. Garlic is also absorbed into your bloodstream, allowing a secondary wave of odor to enter your lungs and leave out the mouth.
- Coffee and Alcohol
Coffee and alcohol cause a drying effect, reducing saliva flow. This promotes the growth of nasty germs and results in poor breath, which is unpleasant and reduces confidence.
- Dairy
Milk is beneficial for the body, but it can be bad for the mouth. This is because naturally occurring microorganisms on your tongue feed on the amino acids in milk and cheese, resulting in a nasty and unappealing odor.
- Peanut Butter
Peanut butter is a high-protein food, but it’s paste-like viscosity makes it tough for saliva to break down the proteins once they’re in your mouth. Because of its stickiness, peanut butter can remain in your mouth for hours between brushings, causing severe bad breath.
Apart from all these, make sure you brush and floss your teeth properly before getting ready, and after that, don’t forget to use a nice, relaxing mouthwash.
Last but not least, spray a good mouth freshener and chew on some refreshing and minty gum. We are sure that by keeping all these things, you’ll have a fantastic night and the memories will be cherished forever.
