We all wake up in the morning with our breath smelly. This is because bacteria keep multiplying in our mouth at night and there is no continuous flow of saliva to get wash it away as is the case when we are awake and active. When the teeth are brushed and flossed in the morning , our breath becomes better.

When we eat foods like onions, garlic and heavily spiced food they can make us have  bad breath.But, this is easily taken care by brushing our teeth or chewing a flavored gum. Let me now tell you that if it goes beyond this and bad breath persists throughout the day, then it is important for you to take note of the tips i will give to you.

How can you know you have it

It’s very easy to detect bad breath in others but you can never quite be sure about your own. If you think you might have bad breath, there’s a simple test you can do. Lick the inside of your wrist and sniff. If the smell is bad, you can be pretty sure your breath is too. You can also ask someone you trust unreservedly to smell your breath. Don’t be offended if they tell you there’s a problem. Wouldn’t you rather know? that’s what I thought.
The build-up of decaying food and other bits of debris on the surface of your tonsils, known as tonsil stones, is another source of bad breath. Bad breath can be caused by some medical conditions, such as dry mouth, diabetes gastritis, throat, nose and lung infections and also liver and kidney problems.

How to get rid of bad breath

  • Brushing and flossing your teeth regularly.
Clean your teeth after every meal. Carry a toothbrush and toothpaste to work if you have to so you can brush your teeth after lunch. Take your time on every cleaning and make sure you get all the debris out so that the mouth bacteria will have nothing to feed on.
  • Get dental check-ups twice a year.
Sometimes, bad breath is an indicator of a serious problem like unclean dentures, an abscess, gum disease or a tooth that is decaying. So you need to have a dentist check you up.
  • Cleaning your tongue is as important as your teeth
The tongue is is a good growing ground for bacteria, especially at the back of the mouth.  If the mouth is not cleaned after eating, a lot of remains are left here which bacteria start working on and causing odor. At the very least your water to clean your mouth after eating.
  • What you eat also matters
Cucumber and slices isolated over white background
Crispy fresh foods will naturally clean the teeth. This may include fruits and vegetables like apples, lettuce, carrots, pears and raw cucumber. You should eat a diet that is low in carbohydrates to reduce the source of sugar for bacteria.Carbohydrate diet makes the body release ketones which are foul-smelling chemicals that are released from the body through the breath.
  • Chewing gum
gum
This increases the flow of saliva in the mouth so bacteria are washed away. The key is to ensure that the gum is sugarless. Gum with sugar should be avoided because sugar ferments bacteria which will worsen the problem.
  • Drink a lot of water
Dehydration also causes bad breath. Increase your intake of water. Keep sipping water all day rather just drinking a lot only after meals. It will keep your mouth clean and odor-free.
  • Use mouth washes
listerine
Using mouth washes can also help you to get rid of bad breath. Just make sure you avoid those with alcohol as they will make your mouth dry and only worsen the problem.
  • Quit smoking.
broken-cigarette
If you do smoke, am sure your breath will likely smell like smoke. Smoking cigarettes also increases the risk of you developing gum disease, which is another cause of bad breath.
  • Get Medical help fast
If all of these daily routine fails, please do get a complete check-up. It means there might be  an underlying cause like a sinus infection, diabetes, reflux or liver problems.

This is the attitude! Life is not about finding the right person, but creating the right relationship. It's not how we care in the beginning, but how much we care till the very end. Some people always throw stones in your path. It depends on what you make with them; a Wall or a Bridge? - Remember you are the architect of your life. Search for a good heart, but don't search for a beautiful face, because beautiful things are not always good, but good things are always beautiful. It’s not important to hold all the good cards in life, but it’s important how well you play with the cards you hold. Often when we lose all hope & think this is the end, remember God and pray, it’s just a bend, not the end.' - Have faith and have a successful life. One of the basic differences between God and humans is, God gives, gives and forgives. But the human gets, gets, gets and forgets. Be thankful in life... it is JUST BY THE GRACE OF GOD that we are alive.

I was with the CEO of AMAA at a party some weeks ago. A young lady walked up to me and after pleasantries and a few drinks she said something about good guys being scarce and the good men are not yet born. Stupefied I was until I regained composure and hit her with my response; The response is for all single ladies, married women, everyone who thinks good men are myth. Walk with me, my answer to her was; Good men are indeed all around us. We pass them on the streets,in the malls and the halls at work. Most of us can't see because we don't know what a good man really looks like. He usually isn't flashy enough or rich enough to turn our heads. He might not wear a suit or own a BMW. He might not have a "body like Vin Diesel with a Brad Pitt face or a Will Smith height... But, as you mature, you realize it's better to find someone who's got your back than someone who turns your head. A good man doesn't agree wholeheartedly with everything you say. He doesn't just tell you what you want to hear and do the opposite. He has his own opinions and you may clash, but he doesn't have to degrade you to prove he's right. He even admits at times to being wrong, especially if you are willing to do the same. A good man is not going to meet every item on your checklist. He is human with frailties and faults mixed in with all of his wonderful, strong attributes. He needs your love and respect. He needs to feel that you do not live to "catch" him doing something wrong so you can declare, "Aha! I knew you were a dog!" A good man doesn't necessarily give you a huge birthday or Valentine's gift. He shows his love in the ways that are 'comfortable' to him. Don't judge him by TV standards (The Bold & The Beautiful). No one lives that fairy tale for real. You'll miss out on your own fairy tale by buying into the myth that good men are myths. (Culled from IFU ENNADA'S BLOG)

No one said it was going to be easy, the books just made it look so. The only consolation is that it will end in praise because it's actually beautiful to make an effort, at least. Plus, no effort is wasted. Keep up the good work; keep working; keep praying; keep on doing something until Something happens. Have the God-kind of faith, you will succeed, and your life will never remain the same again. God bless! #PUSH #lifeofadirector #filmmaking #directing

My landlord's son, (same boy that renamed me Uncle Festus some months ago) draws my attention to their new mobile mini swimming pool which his mum just acquired. I found him and his siblings bailing out the little water left in it so they could clean out the sand that settled underneath- an Herculean task indeed! He sighs and wipes his forehead so I could appreciate the fun he was having or the effort? I didn't quite understand. Then I proceed to where my vehicle is parked, broom in hand, did my stuff and made to go back inside my apartment when he stopped me again... BOY: Err... Mr... Mr... (he fumbles in his head what my name was) ME: Yes, Sean! (I quickly cut in before he gives me a Chinese name) SEAN: Come and help me pack the water ME: (I paused, looked at his half sisters for a bit and turned squarely to him) But you need a packer not a bucket, because the water is below your ankle. SEAN: (He and his other virgins continue to stare at me, like I wasn't wearing trousers. Then he says...) How come you have a broom and you don't have a packer? ME: Have you seen the movie titled "Life of Pi"? (He shakes his head) Pity, the movie has to do with a little boy and a swimming pool too... That means you don't even know Richard Parker. SEAN: No! (Impatiently) Come and pack the water for me! ME: (with a sarcastic smile) The last time I parked this car here, where this your plastic pool is now eh, your father said I could not park there. So, go and tell your father in particular, that he should wear his torn boxers and come down and pack your water for you. You hear! Moments later, I heard his mum asking him where he got something from. Then answers and says... SEAN: But mummy, it's... Uncle ... Uncle Parker that said I should use a packer to pack the water. I FROZE! Who da hell is Uncle Parker???
