More than 37% of U.S. population is dieting at any given time. Some of the most well
known diet programs in existence today rely on restricting or nearly eliminating the amount of carbohydrates in your diet. Unfortu-nately, the high-protein, low-carb diet has turn with a side effect really bad breath, or as it is known in the scientific community, low-carb oral malodor, or LCOM.
"This potentially embarrassing condition may be experienced sporadically or chronically and at different degrees depending on how strictly the diet is followed, previous disposition for the condition and oral hygiene," explained Sushma Nachnani, Ph.D. of the University Health Resources Group, Inc. "High-protein diets break down into this bouquet of volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, which are then expelled through the breath, which produces an offensive odor."
The good news is that recent studies have shown that LCOM can be effectively treated through a good oral health routine that includes the active antimicrobial components found in products such as BreathRx®, which until recently was only available through your dentist. The BreathRx® fresh breath system includes the elements of brushing your teeth, cleaning your tongue with a tongue scraper and then rinsing with a nonalcoholic, sugar-free mouth rinse.
We must really take good care into our personal hygiene, diet wisely don't over do it.
