Why does garlic make our breath smell bad？

 Your friend talks to you after lunch. He opens his mouth. OGH, what’s that smell? Maybe he ate garlic.

 Some people love garlic. It has a delicious flavor. But there is a problem. After people eat it, they will have “garlic breath”. It is smelly! Why?

 There is a smelly particle in garlic. The particle is very small. It can go into your blood. Your blood then moves it to your lungs. When you breath, you have garlic breath.

  Did you know? Garlic breath can last up to 24 hours.

How to get rid of garlic breath? You can eat apples, lettuce, or drink some milk. They can help reduce garlic breath. These foods react with the smelly particle. This way, the smelly particle cannot go into your blood and lungs.
