(NaturalNews) Rather than spending hundreds of dollars a year on deodorants, antiperspirants, breath mints and mouthwash, why not just up the leafy vegetable content of your diet? Study after study has shown that chlorophyll -- the chemical that makes plants green and allows them to tap sunlight to power their cells -- is one of the most potent deodorizers known. The breath-freshening properties of parsley, for example, have been explained in part by those leaves' high concentrations of chlorophyll.
Chlorophyll appears to cleanse your body from the inside out, eliminating not just bad breath but general body odor as well. Several mechanisms have been suggested for this effect (including cleansing of the blood and intestines) but explanations aside, the point remains: It works.
So the next time you're getting ready for a big interview or a first date, don't go to the drug store. Just eat a few handfuls of parsley or a spoonful of chlorella and you'll be amazed at the results.
