Eating too much flavored foods, such as garlic, onions and spices, is likely to cause you bad breath. Strong-smelling drinks, such as coffee and alcohol, can also cause bad breath.

Bad breath caused by foods and drinks is usually temporary and can be easily avoided by not eating or drinking some types of foods and drinks.

Good dental hygiene will also help. Smoking is another cause of bad breath. Smoking also causes staining and loss of taste and irritates your gums.

The doctors further say that smoking increases your risk of developing gum disease which is another cause of bad breath. Stopping smoking will lower the risk of gum disease and help you to prevent bad breath.

It is good to also note that crash dieting, fasting and low-carbohydrate diets can cause bad breath. This causes the body to break down fats… which produces chemicals called ketones that can be smelt on your breath.
