Bad breath - Health Benefits from Celery

Generally, any food that's good for your body is good for your breath, but celery seems custom made for fighting halitosis.
Most experts believe that the most common cause of bad breath is poor dental hygiene.
In the absence of proper brushing and flossing, food particles on the teeth and the back of the tongue breed pungent bacteria.
Munching on a stalk of celery is helpful in two ways: its roughness helps scrub bacteria from the back of the tongue and its natural fibres assist in cleaning the teeth. It's like using an edible toothbrush.
In fact, if you ever find yourself without a toothbrush, chomping on a celery stick after a meal or first thing in the morning will do the trick.
