There are significant moments in life when you want to make a good impression on the person close to you. For example, at a job interview or on a first date with a crush, you certainly don't want to have bad breath. Therefore, pay attention to the foods that you should not eat and drink before such events. The new paper writes about six foods that leave the most intense "smell".

Garlic and onion

The strong smell of garlic lingers in our mouths for a long time and is very difficult to get rid of. Garlic contains sulfur that can enter the bloodstream after eating and exit through the lungs, which is why many people smell garlic in their mouths for days after consuming it. It is very close to onion, which also contains sulfur compounds that can give you bad breath for days.

Kafa

Although this is a daily drink for many people, especially before a busy day at work, do not drink coffee directly before an important conversation or meeting. It has a strong smell that "sits" in the mouth. You can replace coffee with green tea.

Alcohol

Alcohol is a diuretic that dehydrates our body, and along the way it reduces the level of saliva, which makes the mouth dry and perfect for bacteria to collect.

Sir

Dairy products are full of sugar, and when you eat a lot of such products, they can cause a lot of bad breath. In addition to cheese, this group also includes milk and yogurt.

Ren

This is probably the worst food you can eat before a business meeting or a kiss. Horseradish contains isothiocyanate, which has, to put it mildly, a specific "smell".
