Muck Mouth-Green Tea Helps Keto Breath
I also have been experiencing the dry mouth for quite some time and I am in ketosis. Ea time I get up in the night I have to take a swig of my bottled water on the nightstand. Which in turn, prob. causes me to get up even more frequently to pee. Neverending cycle....From that my breath also isn't the greatest.
Wanted to pass along this article I read about Green Tea helping bad breath, from "Woman's World, The Woman's Weekly" of May 13, 2003 issue.
Worried About Your Breath? Have a Cup of Tea!
"When University of British Columbia researchers recently tested mints, gum and other popular badbreath remedies against an unproven folk cure -- GREEN TEA-- they found that green tea was more effective than anything else at killing the bacteria and volatile sulfur compounds (VSC) that cause halitosis. In fact, chewing gum and minutes actually increased the amount of VSC! reports dental researcher Carl Spiegel, DDS. For the freshest breath, Dr. Spiegel recommends drinking a cup of hot or iced green tea after meals or whenever you feel you need fresher breath0and don't forget to swish before swallowing he advises"
I tried it and it works; its even good without sweetener and full of antioxidants, good for your health!
