Your Breath: More Than Just a Way to Annoy People — What It Might Be Telling You About Your Health!

Dehydration

When you're running low on water (yep, dehydration), your body doesn't make enough saliva, the mouth’s natural "cleaner" that fights bacteria. The result? Not-so-fresh breath. Conditions like Sjögren's syndrome and scleroderma, which mess with your saliva glands, can leave you with a dry mouth and, unfortunately, stinky breath. So, drink up to keep things fresh—and your breath, too!
