overweight people have bad breath
the more you weigh, the worse your breath smells
Here's another reason to jump on the treadmill: overweight people are more likely to have bad breath.
Researchers at Tel Aviv University in Israel found that the more overweight people are, the more likely their breath will smell. Why? They haven't determined that yet, but breath expert Dr Rosenberg suggested that halitosis may relate to not taking care of bodies. That is, overweight people may be less likely to take care of their physical health - including their mouths - than slim people.
Bad breath plagues millions of people - not just overweight ones. It's cause by a variety of factors: disease, poor dental hygiene, dehydration, and eating strong foods such as garlic and onions.
Should you tell people they have bad breath? Absolutely, says Professor Rosenberg. It may be embarrassing -- like telling them their zipper is undone or they have spinach in their teeth. It may be painful, but it's worth it to be honest.
It's time to get serious and achieve your weight loss goals, friends. It's not just about looking good -- it's about smelling good, too! To help you along, here's the best reasons to exercise.
