What Causes unpleasant to awful bad breath

Anaerobic bacteria excrete (Volatile Sulphur Compounds) is a major cause the bad breath.(smells)Anaerobic bacteria are non oxygen breathing bacteria, so contact with oxygen will kill them.

Anaerobic bacteria live deep below and between taste buds, under the gum line, in the tonsils & in the sinus system. All places oxygen cannot get to(only through blood tissues)Anaerobic bacteria eat proteins found in blood, body tissues, mucus, sugars, dairy products & meat.




While everyone has anaerobic bacteria and they serve an important role in making food digestible, 1 in 5 people suffer from anaerobic bacteria imbalance. This imbalance allows anaerobic bacteria to colonize far larger areas of the mouth, sinuses and throat. This creates a jump in VSC output, at which time bad breath become detectable by people.

The smell can range from unpleasant to absolutely disgusting.
Anaerobic bacteria imbalance is caused many factors such as smoking, alcohol, medications, stress, diet, poor oral hygiene, dry mouth, Post Nasal Drip, age, low vitamin D intake (sunlight) and lack of exercise.

Next time you exercise remember you are working out both for your body as well as you breath it sound funny but it’s true so work hard and shed those pounds as well as that bad breath
