10 tricks for keeping body parts smelling fresh – This will help you!

5. Skip the Gum

Breath mints are splendid, but what do you do when you run out? Reach for the gum, of course, especially the strong, minty sticks that make your breath feel icy cold. However, if you pass on the sugary, fruity flavors because you thought that you’re doing your mouth a favor, you’re actually not. Surprisingly, gum can lead to some unpleasant smells.

We’re not just talking about your mouth. Yes, you’ll banish bad breath, but too much sorbitol in your system from sugar-free gum (which gives this candy the taste without the extra sweetness), upsets your large intestine. This results in gassiness, which is never pleasant. If you chew enough sugar-free gum, you could have diarrhea as well. Better keep those breath mints handy instead.
