Raw Food and Juices 生食和果汁
There’s a slew of things that can cause bad breath from poor dental hygiene to digestive problems and smoking. Fortunately there are ways to stop halitosis in its tracks. According to Gillian McKeith, author of Food Bible: How to Use Food to Cure What Ails You, bad breath can be a sign of toxicity and imbalances in the digestive tract. To help with that, McKeith recommends eating raw foods and drinking juice.
从不良的口腔卫生到消化问题以及吸烟等诸多因素都会引起口臭,不过幸好有一些方法可以立刻去除口臭。据《食物圣经:如何用食物治疗你的病痛》一书的作者吉莉安·麦基斯称,口臭可能是消化道有毒性和功能紊乱的表现。要想解决这一问题,麦基斯建议吃生食、喝果汁。
Millet 小米
Try to incorporate millet into your diet. It’s not only one of the healthiest whole grains, it actually helps to reduce bacterial overgrowth in the mouth. McKeith suggests adding parsley and fennel to the millet for an extra kick.
试着在日常饮食中加入小米。小米不仅是最健康的全谷类食物之一,实际上还有助于阻碍口腔中的细菌过度繁殖。麦基斯建议在小米中加入欧芹和茴香以增强效果。
Watercress 水田芥
Watercress is another great way to battle bad breath, according to McKeith. The secret ingredient is chlorophyll, which aids in overall digestive function.
据麦基斯称,水田芥是另一种消除口臭的好方法。它的秘密成分是叶绿素,有助改善整个呼吸道功能。
Alfalfa Sprouts 苜蓿芽
Speaking of salad ingredients, alfalfa sprouts also help cleanse your system and sweeten your breath. So, next time you’re in the mood for a salad,don’t forget the alfalfa sprouts.
提到可以作为色拉配料的苜蓿芽,它也能帮助净化体内各系统、清新口气。所以下次你想吃色拉时,不要忘记加入苜蓿芽。
Herbs and Supplements 食用草药和补充品
Herbs and supplements such as liquid chlorophyll, digestive enzymes and acidophilus capsules are also a good bet if you’re trying to freshen up your mouth. McKeith suggests taking the digestive enzymes with meals, which help improve the breakdown of foods that would otherwise cause bad odors.
如果想要你的口气清新,食用草药和补充品,比如液体叶绿素、消化酶和嗜酸乳杆菌胶囊也是一个不错的方法。麦基斯建议在吃饭时服用消化酶,以促进引起不好口气的食物的分解。
Chew Parsley 咀嚼欧芹
If supplements aren’t your thing, try a little parsley. McKeith said chewing the parsley after meals is a good way to freshen breath.
如果你不想服用补充品,那么试着咀嚼一点欧芹。麦基斯说在饭后咀嚼欧芹是一个清新口气的好办法。
Brush Your Teeth 刷牙
Brush your pearly whites at least two to three times a day and don’t forget to brush your tongue in the morning. Flossing is also very important. Just think of all those bits of food that would be left behind if we didn’t floss. Also, make sure you schedule regular appointments with your dentist.
每天至少要将你珍珠般洁白的牙齿刷两三次,早晨的时候不要忘记刷你的舌头。使用牙线也很重要。如果不使用牙线的话,那些食物残渣就会留在牙缝里。还要保证定期去看牙医。
