Learn2 Cope with Bad Breath (continued)
 Pay attention to your upset
stomach
How your stomach feels has a direct bearing
on how your breath smells. An upset stomach, or
even an empty one, can be a source of bad breath
with all that acid churning around in there.
- "Graze," don't gorge. Since "grazing" is in
nutritional vogue right now, keeping a bit of
food in your stomach is completely
understandable. Have a small snack an hour
before you meet that special person, and give
your stomach a chance to calm down.
- Chew antacid tablets before that big
meeting. Using antacid tablets or liquid will
help neutralize stomach acids, and improve your
breath. These generally work pretty fast, and
are mint flavored, so they're good in
emergencies.
- Worship those mints!
Breath freshening capsules are now sold at just
about any large drugstore, or supermarket chain.
They're sold under a few different names, and
generally contain parsley extract in vegetable
oil. They come in small plastic boxes of fifty
or one hundred, and are unfortunately a bit
pricey. If you can find some on sale, buy a
few boxes--they work pretty well.
