Top 5 Foods to Prevent Bad Breath
1. Chew on this. Coriander, spearmint, tarragon, eucalyptus, rosemary and cardamom are all good for fighting bad breath
2. Get some active culture. No, not Cirque du Soleil, but yogurt.
3. Crunchy types. Apples, carrots, celery—basically any fiber-rich fruit or vegetable is your friend when it comes to fighting halitosis.
4. Masking techniques. Mints can mask as well, but only briefly—and go for sugarless. Sugar creates plaque, and no one wants a mint that makes breath worse.
5. High C’s. Eating berries, citrus fruits, melons and other vitamin C-rich foods create an inhospitable environment for bacteria growth.
