Fix Your Nasty Bad Breath!

now a person with bad breath is usually the last person to know they have bad breath how do we know that because they're usually talking very close to your face without too much awareness on their bad breath i have some very uh interesting information that you probably haven't heard before that is very very important especially related to breath you see just like in my other videos if you want to know the truth about health just find out what everyone's recommending and do the opposite or finding out what they're telling you not to do and do

it and this definitely applies to bad breath so before i get into that point i want to first talk about certain foods that can cause bad breath so you have garlic onions both of those foods are loaded with sulfur compounds so eating anything with sulfur can definitely give you a certain odor so if your spouse or partner eats anything with garlic or onions unless you're eating things with garlic and onions it's going to be pretty unpleasant and then you have cheese there's all sorts of stinky cheese limburger cheese for example or blue cheese which has

mold in it will all contribute to some pretty nasty breath but when you ask someone like when i ask my father why do you eat limburger cheese it smells so bad apparently it doesn't taste bad it just smells bad so i first want to talk about some real simple things you can do to counter your bad breath if you've eaten foods with garlic onion cheese etc one thing that works really good to counter the bad breath is green tea you can use it as a mouthwash you can drink it it seems to counter the sulfur

compounds in certain foods now the other thing that's really good organic parsley and mint or peppermint and then when you have garlic or onions just take a little bit out of your refrigerator and chew on it it completely neutralizes the bad taste and the smell that you would get from eating those foods now another type of toothpaste that i like to recommend especially if someone has bad breath is toothpaste with clove and there's all different combinations with with clove with cardamom they're really really good to even act as a natural antibiotic without killing the good

bacteria now this leads me right into a very important topic that so many people have no idea that's creating a big problem with their breath and that is using toothpaste with fluoride and using a mouthwash with alcohol you see there's something that is either not understood that's missing in the area of oral health which is this in your mouth you have hundreds of different species of microbes growing okay in your mouth and as far as a quantity we're talking about hundreds of billions of microbes now we want them mostly friendly but you have two different

groups you have the unfriendly ones and you have the friendly ones so when you talk about fluoride in your toothpaste right that kills the germs that might cause plaque that can then cause bad breath or when you're talking about mouthwash that kills the germs that cause bad breath what about the good germs that prevent bad breath it's not that you just have these bad germs in your mouth that are causing bad breath and then you can sterilize your mouth and everything's better that's the same logic is taking an antibiotic thinking that you're killing off the

infection when you're in fact killing off all of the microbes that are supposed to protect you against infections and this reasoning has led to antibiotic resistance a massive amount of overgrowth of unfriendly bacteria and yeast and an overgrowth of candida oral thrush or a white tongue where you have too much unfriendly yeast that is giving you some pretty bad breath so fluoride and chloride in your water combined as you're brushing your teeth and getting this water in your mouth is basically killing both the good and bad bacteria so it might give you a nice breath

initially but then it ends up being bad breath so i would recommend getting toothpaste without the fluoride i would recommend also getting a water filter and i would definitely avoid the mouthwashes with alcohol because alcohol kills microbes i mean think about a sanitizer with rubbing alcohol that's supposed to kill viruses and bacteria what do you think it's doing to your friendly bacteria now there's some other things you can do as well you can actually get some gum with xylitol xylitol is a sugar alcohol that is very selective in what it kills off it won't kill

off the good bacteria it only apparently kills off certain bad bacteria that cause plaque the bad bacteria that causes plaque apparently gives off a certain gas that is kind of stinky so that would be one thing you can do another thing to do as a natural deodorizer is to consume things with chlorophyll now what would that be that would be all the green stuff in plants as in vegetables okay i think one of the best sources of chlorophyll would be the wheatgrass juice powder that stuff has some serious chlorophyll and it's a great deodorizer not

just for your mouth but internally okay all the organs including the intestine all right the next point i want to bring up is coffee and coffee breath that can be quite nasty now that's because the sulfur compounds in coffee beans as well as certain acids that occur in the coffee bean including cannons which can really dry out your mouth and affect your the microbiome in your mouth so of course with coffee breath you want to brush your teeth with some really good toothpaste that has clove and it doesn't have fluoride but chewing parsley and mint

is also a really good thing all right i already mentioned a little bit about alcohol but it's not just the alcohol mouthwash it's also the alcohol in alcohol beverages so if you drink alcohol every so often just make sure that you don't consume more than a six pack a night and you want to take a natural probiotic and i'm mainly talking about like fermented vegetables and sauerkraut kimchi things like that to reestablish these microbes all right the next point i want to bring up and this is probably the number one source of that breath that

would be sugar sugar feeds unfriendly microbes it feeds yeast which is a type of candida and so that's its primary fuel if you want to starve off these unfriendly microbes very simple just avoid sugar that's called the ketogenic diet so again these microbes give off a smelly gas and they produce bad breath they also make acids that can put holes in your bones and i'm talking about your teeth as in cavities and the average teenager is consuming at least 18 teaspoons of sugar and that's just added that's not part of the normal carbohydrates that they're

consuming so you can imagine how much bad bacteria that's being generated now the next point i want to bring up is the fact that your mouth is part of an entire system called the digestive system so when you focus on one little part of this whole system and neglect the other parts you're not going to ever fix bad breath so many people have bad breath because of a lower digestive system problem either in the stomach the small intestine or the large intestine so this is why if you have weak stomach acid or you don't have

enough acidity in your stomach you're not going to get the proper digestion and that alone can create gas that can come up for your breath and that occurs from just having incomplete digestion so this is why apple cider vinegar on a regular basis this is why taking betaine hydrochloride after a meal which is a natural acidifier is really good for bad breath and also it prevents something called sibo small intestinal bacterial overgrowth normally the bacteria should be in the large intestine not so much in the small intestine i mean there's a little bit in there

but there shouldn't be a lot when you get too much bacteria and i'm even talking about the good bacteria in the wrong place you're going to have sibo and what happens is these microbes compete for your nutrients and they also create a lot of gas and they create a lot of bad breath in overgrowth of unfriendly microbes and this can definitely create not just bloating but it also can create some bad breath now the thing you need to know about this is that if you consume probiotics and fiber okay and salads and you feel worse

you have a lot of distension that could mean that you have sibo in which case you should stop eating those things and go carnivore for a little while because to kill these microbes you have to not feed them anymore and you'd want to take things like betaine hydrochloride and you'd want to do fasting to allow the digestive system to reset and you might want to take a natural antibiotic like oregano for example so the reason i want to bring this up is because the recommendation of taking probiotics and fiber might be conflicting if you have

sibo so one of the key ways you know is with bloating and distension if you have too much fiber or probiotics but most of the population is going to benefit from probiotics and more vegetables and things like that but if you don't then suspect sibo but at this point probably the most important thing to study next is my video on digestion if you haven't seen this i think you're going to really like it check it out you
