Bad breath is not caused by not brushing teeth, but mainly by eating cold food. The function of the stomach is to trap cold evil in Yangming and dry fire, and the result of excessive stomach movement is bad breath. Bad breath is like an awkward business card in public places. No matter how bright the surface is, if there is a foul odor when you open your mouth, you will unconsciously become an unwelcome person. What is the cause of bad breath? How should bad breath be treated?
Firstly, the cause of bad breath:
1. The mouth is like a miniature factory, with about 50 trillion bacteria inside. They work day and night in dark corners, eating food residues, producing fermented odors, and exhaling gases. That's why it's so bad when you wake up.
2. Bad breath is divided into physiological and pathological types. Physiological bad breath refers to a temporary phenomenon in people's lives, such as hunger, eating certain stimulating foods (onions, garlic), smoking, eating, and sleeping too little. Pathological halitosis mainly includes the following reasons:
(1) Oral diseases. 85% of bad breath actually comes from the mouth itself Suffering from oral diseases such as dental caries, gingivitis, periodontitis, etc., the mouth is prone to producing bacteria, especially anaerobic bacteria, which decompose sulfides and cause bad breath.
(2) Digestive diseases such as peptic ulcers, chronic gastritis, respiratory diseases such as bronchitis, sinusitis, pharyngitis, tonsillitis, etc., may be accompanied by bad breath.
2、 Treatment for bad breath
1. Saliva is a good weapon against bad breath. Interestingly, most people with bad breath are not aware of their foul odor. This is because the soft palate of the mouth is attached to the nasal cavity, and the nose does not emit odors from the back of the mouth. Therefore, it doesn't need to wait for others to complain to you. The simplest way is to identify residual dirt or odor on your palm floss, or you can use cotton, toothpicks, or spoons to scratch your tongue or teeth and smell them.
2. Eat millet frequently. Healthy grains and millet can reduce the growth of oral bacteria and better prevent bad breath.
3. Drink lemon water. Drink plenty of water and keep your mouth moist. Add a slice of lemon water to stimulate saliva and reduce nasal congestion, causing bad breath, dry mouth, or food residue from the mouth.
