A greasy burger and fries can hit the spot, but your dentist won’t be happy about the effect it could have on your oral health. Regular fast food intake is also linked to halitosis, which could reduce your self-esteem. Watch this video and see if your favorite fast food is causing your bad breath.
Most fast food options contain greasy residues that cause reactions inside your body as you swallow and digest the food. These reactions result in an unpleasant smell that comes up through your mouth and taints your breath. Fast food also makes your stomach more acidic and can contribute to gastric reflux, so balance your diet with fruits and vegetables.
