Dieting and Diet-Related Bad Breath

Dieting may be making you smell worse. Find out why.
Fasting
If your diet regime involves fasting or food abstinence for several hours, you'll be prone to bad breath. Here's why:

Chewing food stimulates our body to produce saliva. Saliva not only helps digest food but also acts as a natural mouthwash, washing away the plaque bacteria that produce foul smelling volatile sulphur compounds, and also dissolving those compounds themselves.

When we diet, we produce far less saliva leading to a dry mouth, which encourages odor causing bacteria to flourish. This is why halitosis is more common in people who miss meals or are dieting.
