Brush your coffee breath away

Categories: Nutrition & Supplements

Coffee breath isn't as bad as some breaths -- like onion and garlic breath, caused by odors that enter your lungs and bloodstream -- but it still can be bothersome to you and other folks too. Here's a simple fix, says the August 2008 Real Simple magazine: Brush your teeth and your tongue. Why this quick fix? Because this is where the odor-causing bacteria grow.

A breath mint is another coffee breath killer, but it will only work in the short-term. Consider it a hold-over until you can round up your toothbrush and paste. Can't get to a mint or the bathroom sink? In a pinch, you can fill your mouth with water and give it a good swish.
