Prevent Odor Mouth During Fasting

There is a way to reduce unpleasant mouth odor.
Consider the following tips! Not pleasant mouth odor can indeed be one of disruption during fasting. This condition occurs, since we do not consume food and drink for hours and automatic halitosis.

The increasing problem of bad breath during fasting, according to dr. Handrawan Nadesul, author of 'Healthy It Cheap', caused by reduced production of saliva, due to the water intake into the body decreases. In fact, saliva contains a special substance that plays an important role in maintaining healthy mouth and pressing the smell.

Want to reduce these health problems? Consider the following tips!

_ Before fasting, consult a dentist.

- After the last meal and before bed, clean the oral cavity by brushing the teeth and tongue slowly.

- Use a mouthwash to prevent bacterial growth and new tartar. In this mouthwash could be replaced with a mixture of half teaspoon of baking soda and half a teaspoon of salt in one cup of hot water.

- After a break, drink water as much as possible to increase saliva production.

- Avoid strong-smelling foods like garlic, petai, or jengkol. Food should not be consumed because the smell of food would be absorbed by the blood and expelled through the breath. If it really wants to eat, should be consumed when breaking it, do not time meal.
