Good for Oral Health
Bad breath is caused by the buildup of bacteria in a person’s mouth, teeth, and tongue. It may also be a side effect of severe acid reflux or intestinal problems. In any case, bad breath can affect a person’s self-esteem.
As mentioned above, green tea has impressive antioxidant and antibacterial properties. Several studies prove the effectiveness of green tea against bad breath. The polyphenols found in green tea have the ability to eliminate sulfur compounds and bacteria in the oral cavity that lead to stinky breath.
Different oral hygiene products now include green tea extracts as one of their active ingredients. However, you can always keep a couple of tea bags in your desk, bag, or car in an emergency.
