Cause of bad breath? Relationship between stress and saliva
Stress is also involved in bad breath.
When a person feels stressed and the sympathetic nerves become active, you can see that saliva with a high degree of stickiness is secreted in the mouth.
The secretion of high-viscosity saliva can lead to less moisture in the mouth and can also cause bad breath.
In some experiments, measurements of substances that caused bad breath before and after the test by college students showed that they were very high on the day of the test compared to those before and after the test. This is thought to be the result of the stress and anxiety caused by the test affecting saliva secretion in the mouth and the increase in the causative substance of bad breath.
In the scene where you feel nervous and anxious in your daily life, the smell may be tighter than usual. In that case, you can expect to suppress unpleasant smell by promoting saliva secretion such as chewing gum.
