Battling Bad Breath
As a general rule, bad breath is related to what we drink or eat. As to beverages, alcohol is sure to give you bad breath, coffee does as well. Different cultures have spicy foods, and people who consume these foods on a regular basis, will experience odors, not only emanating from their mouth, but also from their pores.
Listerine, a leading mouthwash manufacturer, says there are five top foods that will give you bad breath – of course, we are familiar with onions and garlic being the biggest culprits, and even canned tuna is no surprise, but horseradish and dairy foods also make your mouth feel a little funky.
Dairy products as a source for bad breath may surprise you, but, while dairy products may be good for your teeth and bones, they make your mouth feel unclean. This is because naturally occurring bacteria from your tongue feeds on the amino acids in dairy products (milk, cottage cheese, yogurt and cheeses), resulting in a foul odor.

“We shall never know all the good that a simple smile can do”. ~Mother Teresa
Those are wise words indeed, spoken by the late Mother Teresa. These days, world events have us weary and worried. Many times we shuffle out of the door, breaking a smile to those to whom we feel obligated to smile at, but, admittedly our smile is not always heartfelt. We are wise to cast our cares aside when we venture out, so that we let others see the good in our soul, and not the sorrows or angst that we might carry with us. Even those who suffer from depression will benefit from a smile – a shared smile that they give away or one that they receive.
Just Grin
The idea of presenting a happy face to the world is good for your psyche. In fact, smiling is the best present we can give to ourselves. It is free and people will be more enamored with you from benefiting from your positive influence on them.
There are old wives’ tales and urban legends on every topic imaginable. Once upon a time, household hints and medical tips were passed along from generation to generation and circulated by housewives at a kaffeeklatsch or via the glossy pages of “Good Housekeeping” magazine. Through the wonders of the internet, we no longer need to rely on the written words and collection of “how to” tips from our ancestors – we need only “Google” to get what info we need. If the solution is dubious, we go to “Snopes” to verify the facts… but, even in this modern age, there are still many myths about dental care that exist. Wherever do these stories come from? Many of them are untrue, and simply unbelievable! Have a look for yourself below:
