Have you ever wondered why our salivary glands kick into action the moment we smell or see a lemon?

Have you ever wondered why our salivary glands kick into action the moment we smell or see a lemon? It is because the brain is incredibly smart! It prepares for the sour food by triggering saliva production to protect the mouth and aid digestion.

Why do we have bad breath in the morning? At night, the body produces less saliva than during the day. When the mouth is dry, bacteria multiply rapidly and release an unpleasant odor.Tips to deal with morning breath: 

-Brush your teeth and tongue after sleeping (the tongue is a place where bacteria love to gather!). 

-Drink plenty of water to prevent dry mouth.

Chew sugar-free gum to stimulate saliva production. The little things happening inside our bodies are truly amazing! Do you have any other tips for keeping your breath fresh? Share them in the comments!
