Eat parsley
“Sulfur compounds in garlic are released not only in the mouth, but also in the gut, from which they seep into the lungs and skin,” says Victor Sierpina, MD, professor of family and integrative medicine at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, Texas. This makes freshening garlic breath more complex than merely cleansing the mouth—though it’s a good place to start. It’s handy that chefs decorate plates with parsley: Plant chemicals like chlorophyll and polyphenols bind to sulfur compounds in garlic and help neutralize odor. Basil, thyme, cilantro, mint and dill have similar effects. Make sure you know about the surprising foods that lead to halitosis.
