Green Tea Prevents Bad Breath

May 8th, 2009 by admin

Drinking green tea has an added extra value in our health by preventing bad breath. Sounds interesting right? I read here that a recent research in the Chicago College of Dentistry in University of Illinois reported that researchers have discovered that the element polyphenols which can be extracted from green tea can reduce the growth of odor-causing bacteria for as high as 30%.

Green tea is also told to be effective in preventing tooth decay by destroying the harmful bacteria inside our mouth that causes dental plaque. I don’t know if its true but they also said the green tea contains a fluoride that helps strengthen our teeth.

According to the article, drinking a cup or two of green tea may help maintain fresh breath, so if I were you, enjoy sipping a cup of green tea because it not only cleans our body inside but also maintain the hygiene of our mouth. After all, green tea has 0 calorie and definitely fat-free; making drinking green tea absolutely good for our overall well-being.
