Bad breath can be embarrassing for
you, and extremely unpleasant for those around you. Drinking more water,
eating foods rich in Vitamin C and avoiding foods like onion, garlic and radish
are just some of these tips. 
Water
Just swish and swirl some water in
the mouth like gargling (but softly, not loudly) and drink it up or rinse it
out. Hydration is one of the solutions as when you get dehydrated, the saliva
generated in the mouth automatically decreases. Saliva tends to clean the mouth
by diluting the bacteria. Bacteria and their by-products are responsible for
that offensive bad breath. 
Vitamin C rich food items
Oranges, sweet lime, lemons, kiwis
and all citrus fruits rich in the vitamin help in keeping the breath fresh.
Vitamin C is known to fight bacteria. 
Apples
When we crunch on to an apple,
salivary secretion gets stimulated. This literally bathes the mouth and rinses
out the odour generating bacteria in the mouth thereby making the breath fresh.
It is helpful in keeping the mouth
and breath fresh. Read about some other health benefits of cinnamon.
Here are some more things you can
add.
Mint
Most products available in the
market claiming to freshen your breath use this ingredient. Mint leaves or pudina,
when eaten raw have a strong and cooling effect that freshens your
breath.
Cloves
Cloves are great for your oral
health, and they’ve been traditionally used to alleviate toothache. They are
also an excellent remedy for bad breath. You can either eat them raw, or mix it
with your tea.
Fennel
seeds
Extremely popular in India, and
served in many restaurants at the end of your meal, fennel seeds or saunf are
a great way to fight bad breath. Additionally, they also help secrete saliva in
your mouth making them great for digestion too.
Cardamom
Another extremely popular breath
freshener, cardamom or elaichi is used to flavor many foods.
Eating them raw can give your mouth a strong aromatic scent. You could also add
them to your tea.
