Get fresh

I love raw onions — they’re tasty and have been recognized for their medicinal qualities for hundreds of years — but they can be pretty stinky. After eating a big Greek salad, even if I brush my teeth and chew 10 pieces of gum, I can still taste the onion on my breath! That doesn’t stop me from eating it, but I definitely feel self-conscious speaking to someone or kissing my boyfriend afterward. This Valentine’s Day, though, there’s no need to worry! Two words: Eat whatever. Sure, that means chocolate, oysters, or champagne, but it also includes garlic- or onion-heavy dishes at your romantic dinner!

Eat whatever isn’t just advice, it’s a breath freshener — called eatwhatever — that’s more potent than gum. It’s a two-part system: First, you swallow one of the jelly capsules made of peppermint and parsley seed oils. Then, you suck on the sugar-free mint while the digestive oils work their magic from the inside out. Both peppermint and parsley have been used for ages to help improve digestion, and numerous studies have shown that peppermint in coated capsules or oil form helps alleviate symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome. So not only will eatwhatever freshen up your mouth, it’ll also help ease your stomach after enjoying those spicy, savory foods. How’s that for a breath of fresh air?

Tanya’s Tip: If you’re an IBS sufferer, rather than sipping on peppermint tea when your gut grumbles, you can pop one of these jellies to ease your tummy instead. Go to eat-whatever.com and enter the promo code: KISS to get 10% off your on-line order.
