Hi, kids! I simply didn't have time to post the weekend Tip last night or this morning. Better late than never, though, so scroll on down and check it out.
AVOID BAD BREATH
The worst time of day for bad breath is 3:00 p.m. Who knew? At that time of day, it's most likely that things such as coffee, whatever you ate for lunch and stress can create a "perfect storm " for bad breath. (The stress hormone, cortisol, dries your mouth.) The lack of sufficient saliva is conducive to bad breath.
What to do? Brush your teeth after lunch for starters. Also, drink plenty of water to stay well hydrated. Chewing gum or slowly letting a mint or piece of hard candy dissolve in your mouth can also stiumulate saliva and make your breath fresher.

Caring for the mouth is very important! I've recently discovered the benefits of xylitol. Who knew?!
After meals and in between meals chew xylitol gum or suck on xylitol mints.
Gum and mints sweetened with xylitol are superior for people with dry mouth since xylitol is clinically proven to fight tooth decay and strengthen tooth enamel. Dry Mouth Xylitol Gum and Mints
You can get xylitol gum, mints, toothpaste and wash.
I had a former co-worker who had terrible breath and he was one of those who liked to talk a lot and be really close to you when he talked. It was pretty disgusting.
Thanks for the Tip Ms Pam. I always take a nap at 3pm and when I wake up the room smells of Lysol. Wife keeps a can nearby on the table next to my chair. Who knew...
