*Brush your teeth and tongue after eating and before sleeping.
*chew on piece of [[ginger]]
* [[Green Tea]] : Polyphenols, the antioxidants contained in tea, eliminate the compounds which cause bad breath. But that's not all. Green tea also wards off other threats to oral health, including tooth decay and mouth cancer. Many advocates also recommend [[fenugreek]] tea for similar benefits. Whatever type of tea you choose, avoid adding sugar, as this can foster the growth of bacteria which eventually lead to halitosis.
* [[Yogurt]] : the active bacteria in yogurt, specifically Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus, may have a beneficial effect on odor-causing bacteria in the mouth.
*Fennel seeds provide a very strong, pleasant odor to your breath. Fennel seeds immediately alkalize the saliva which naturally prevents the overgrowth of bad bacteria.
