Why these are our main culprits:
1. Garlic, onions & strong spices — Compounds from these stay in your mouth *and* lungs long after eating.
2. High-protein foods — Like red meat, fish, or cheese! Protein breakdown can smell as it’s digested.
3. Canned fish — Oxidation during canning can produce a stronger, lingering odor.
4. Sweet treats & drinks — Sugar feeds bacteria, letting odor stick around (even maple syrup’s guilty here 🍁).
5. Peanut butter — Sticky texture + protein = the perfect combo that clings and feeds bacteria.
And it’s not just what kids eat! Parents, you’ve got a few culprits too! ☕🍷
Coffee & alcohol (for the adults!) can dry out the mouth, giving odor-causing bacteria the perfect place to party.
So remember to keep drinking water, brushing your teeth, cleaning your tongue, and have regular checkups for a detective-level defense for fresh breath. 🕵️♂️✨
