Fight bad breath with these 5 foods

Isn't it awful when you show up to an afternoon meeting, only to realize your breath smells atrocious? At least for me, I can barely concentrate on what I'm saying for fear I might breathe to close to someone else's nose.

Of course mints or gum can provide some temporary relief for those around you, but according to this MSN Health article, you might try certain foods as a natural remedy for halitosis.

Reminding us that "breath odors originate not just inside the mouth but also from your digestive tract," the article recommends herbs like coriander and spearmint, yogurt (though you should make sure to get the kind with active cultures, not the overly processed stuff), fruits and vegetables that are high in fiber (apples, carrots, celery, etc) and foods rich with vitamin C.

So get a handle on that bad breath -- if not for your own sake, for the rest of us!
