Bad breath and low carb diet

Bad breath is one of the biggest side effects of a low carb diet. Many times bad breath will occur during the breakdown of certain food particles which have sulphur components. Foods that are high in protein will produce large amounts of sulphur compounds particularly at night when there is less saliva to wash away these components. Bacteria found on the tongue and gums are another culprit. Therefore we should brush our teeth regularly or drink a lot of waterespecial after our meal.
