Scientists from Sichuan University have found that foods containing probiotics help fight bad breath. About it wrote in BMJ Open magazine.
According to experts, volatile sulfur compounds are the cause of bad breath. They occur when bacteria on the surface of the tongue break down proteins too quickly. In the course of the study, scientists found that probiotics found in fermented foods, such as sourdough bread, yogurt, kombucha and miso soup, help fight bad breath.
“Probiotics can inhibit the breakdown of amino acids and proteins by anaerobic bacteria in the mouth, thereby curbing the formation of malodorous by-products. Probiotics help in the short term, but do not significantly affect the causes of bad breath, such as plaque and plaque on the tongue.” , experts from China pointed out.
To keep your breath fresh, scientists recommend eating foods with probiotics on an ongoing basis.
