Never scraped your tongue? Here's why you should....
While people are quick to blame certain foods for bad breath, it may have more to do with stress and anxiety. When those stress hormones are increased, your salivary production is decreased and bacteria thrive. The bacteria produces those smelly gases and sulfur compounds. That is bad breath.
If you've ever tried to check your breath by cupping a hand over your mouth, forget it. You can't smell your own breath, your brain filters it out.
So what's the one thing people can do to improve their breath? Tongue scraping. Taste buds trap dead skin cells and food debris, and it's actually rotting on their tongue. So the best advice is to keep your mouth hydrated and to clean your tongue daily with a tongue scraper.
