Tips (No.2): How To Get Rid Of Garlic Breath Fast!

Do you want to know how to get rid of garlic breath fast?! I know garlic tastes so good but not the after breath :( Chewing gum isn't gonna cut it, right?! You shouldn't worry so much about your garlic breath - perhaps only for social gathering or your love life?!

Well... Let me explain the reason why Garlic creates the bad smell - before telling you how to get rid of garlic breath fast. Garlic contains a volatile oil which is responsible for most of garlic’s medicinal properties. The oil is made of many sulphur-containing compounds. It is the sulphur that causes your body to react and produce the foul smell.

• Tips No. 1      Eat APPLE! (1/4, not a whole apple) (It is due to the smell and enzymes in apple contains poly phenols). It lasts for over 6 hours. Unfortunately, apple juice is less effective because the enzyme is processed.
• Tips No. 2      Drink milk or tea. 
• Tips No. 3      Rinse your mouth with lemon juice mixed in a glass of water. 
• Tips No. 4      Chew on fennel or cardamom seeds. (2 teaspoons)
• Tips No. 5      Eat raw parsley. (1 or 2 tablespoons)
• Tips No. 6      Eating sugar (1 table spoon) everyday can make your breath fresh. Eating chocolate also works.
• Tips No. 7      Cooking your garlic. (It can reduce the foul smell but you must also realize that the anti-bacterial properties of garlic are also diminished with cooking. This is due to the destruction of the active ingredient that kills the germs through heat.) When you cook food, try to use fresh garlic instead of garlic powder.

To remove the scent of garlic from your hands, try rubbing them on your stainless steel sink for 30 seconds! I'm dead serious. If you don't have a stainless steel sink you can actually buy (about $12), a stainless steel bar of soap. You can also rub your skin with salt mixed into lemon juice or with toothpaste.
