Change your diet

Strong foods and beverages, like onions, garlic, or coffee, cause your stomach to absorb oils during digestion. These oils can get into your lungs through your bloodstream and be present even 72 hours after you ate, causing a bad odor. On the other hand, if you practice fasting or are on a low-carbohydrate diet, you might develop bad breath too because of the production of ketones, which have a strong aroma.
- Consider eating less garlic, onions, spicy food, and sugary food, as well as reducing your coffee intake. If you’re on a special fast or follow a low-carb diet, talk to your medical practitioner to see if there’s something that can be done to include more carbs or regulate the production of ketones. You can also eat more avocados, nuts, and olive oil.
