Why Some Super Models (Actors) have Bad Breath (Halitosis)

It seems everyone is envious of those so-called Super Models and actors. Almost every woman I know thinks that Super Models have it all. Well, that “all” may include BAD BREATH. Yes, Halitosis!

Over the past 13 years, many famous models have visited Dr Katz's California Breath Clinics. What he learned is that when it comes to oral health they (as a group) are doing 4 things wrong:

1. They Smoke
In order to keep their weight down, they have taken up smoking. Smoking kills the taste buds, and indirectly kills appetite. It also makes the mouth very dry which quickly leads to bad breath.

2. They Drink Alcohol
A model’s (actor's) life is hard work - and then party, party, party (Well that’s what they tell me). Alcohol makes your mouth dry instantly and (again) dry mouth leads to bad breath because a dry mouth creates an “anaerobic” friendly enviroment perfect for the bugs that creat bad breath (and gum disease too).
Note: There is more alcohol in commercial mouthwash formulas than an entire 6 pack of beer, so be careful when you choose your source of alcohol.

3. Lots of Stress and Little Sleep
Studies show that Stress leads to bad breath. Stress leads to a dry mouth because that’s how our sympathetic nervous system
works (The fight or flight phenomenon).

4. One common “bad habit” of models (and probably the easiest to overcome) is Skipping Breakfast.

By skipping breakfast, you can extend your morning breath until you finally eat something.

Here’s why: When you sleep your brain knows that you will not be eating. Consequently, your brain turns down saliva production. Since saliva contains a high concentration of oxygen (acting as a natural enemy of anaerobic bacteria), a lack of saliva will create an environment beneficial to the anaerobic sulfur producing bacteria at the core of bad breath (and gum disease too). But, as soon as you put something in your mouth in the morning, your salivary glands kick in and
provide oxygen-rich saliva to eliminate morning breath.
