HALITOSIS (BAD BREATH), WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW!

  Bad breath, medically known as HALITOSIS, can result from poor dental health habits and may be a sign of other health problems. Bad breath  can also be made worse by the types of foods you eat and other unhealthy lifestyle habits. when it comes to what you eat,  all the food eaten begins to be broken down in your mouth .  If you eat foods with strong odors (such as garlic or onions), brushing and flossing -- even mouthwash -- merely covers up the odor temporarily. The odor will not go away completely until the foods have passed through your body.    If you don't brush and floss  teeth   daily, food particles can remain in your  mouth , promoting bacterial growth between teeth , around the gums, and on the   tongue.

This means the systolic reading (the pressure as the heart pumps blood around the body) is over 140 mmHg (millimeters of mercury) and/or the diastolic reading (as the heart relaxes and refills with blood) is over 90 mmHg. Normal blood pressure is below  120  systolic and below  80  diastolic Prehypertension is  120-139  systolic  or   80-89  diastolic Stage 1 high blood pressure (hypertension) is  140-159  systolic  or   90-99  diastolic Stage 2 high blood pressure (hypertension) is  160  or higher systolic  or   100  or higher diastolic Hypertensive crisis (a medical...
