You may think brushing your teeth only option in keeping your breathe fresh, well did you know there are some habits that may make it difficult for one to resolve bad breathe issues.

🦷 What You Need to Know About Halitosis (Bad Breath) & Nutrition 😷
Bad breath isn’t just a dental issue — your diet plays a major role too! Here’s how nutrition connects to halitosis 👇

🥦 1. Low-Carb Diets & Ketosis
When you cut carbs too much, your body burns fat for energy, producing ketones — these can cause a distinctive “fruity” or “acetone-like” breath.

🥖 2. Skipping Meals
Going long hours without eating reduces saliva flow. Less saliva means more bacteria activity… and stronger odor.

🧄 3. Foods That Linger
Garlic, onions, coffee, and spicy foods release sulfur compounds that can stick around long after eating.

💧 4. Dehydration
Water washes away odor-causing particles. Stay hydrated to keep your mouth fresh!

🥬 5. Gut & Oral Health Connection
A diet low in fiber and high in processed foods can disrupt gut bacteria, which may also affect your breath.

✨ Tip:
For fresher breath — eat more fiber-rich fruits and veggies, stay hydrated, and don’t skip meals.

Tamarind juice I had to try it and I must admit it's so refreshing.

So what I discovered is you can drink it even without sugar. Just add ginger to it and thank me later.

Procedure for making tamarind juice.

1. Peel the fruit to remove hard outer cover
2. Put the unpeeled fruit in a dish add water let it soak for 20mins. Then using your hand squeeze out the pulp as much as you can.
3. Remove the residues then boil the pulp in a sufuria.
4. Sieve the residue then you can choose to blend it abit for a smooth consistency if you don't have the blender use sieving cloth. At this point you can your crushed ginger while blending or sieving.
5. Pout it in a glass jar let it cool then serve. You may put it in the fridge to take it chilled after sometime.

This is a perfect example of low calorie juice!!
