Apple cider vinegar has been touted as the new wonder ingredient for everything from weight loss to cancer. While it does not live up to all these claims, it is a potential treatment for bad breath, for reasons similar to baking soda: it balances the PH of the mouth and fights bacteria. Consuming apple cider vinegar can help improve digestion, which may also help eliminate bad breath by reducing the production of bad bacteria.
Try mixing one or two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar into a glass of water and drink, gargle or rinse for 30 seconds to enjoy the benefits. Just keep in mind that vinegar can alter insulin levels and lower potassium levels, so people with diabetes or who take certain medications should be cautious about consuming too much. As with lemon juice, it’s best to dilute vinegar to protect tooth enamel and reduce the chance of gastrointestinal symptoms.
