Bad breath.. a sign of kidney function. !

If the kidneys are not functioning properly, the accumulation of impurities
and waste in the blood affects the function of the taste buds on the
tongue. Because of that we cannot properly perceive the taste of the food
we eat. A metallic taste in the mouth, as if some iron object had been put
in the mouth.
Blood that is not properly purified in the kidneys reaches the lungs.
Carbon dioxide in the blood in the lungs enters the air and oxygen in the
air enters the blood. During the process, the impurities and toxic
substances in the blood turn into gaseous form and mix in the air. When
the air mixed with impurities and toxic chemicals comes out of the lungs,
our breath smells bad. Loss of appetite due to loss of taste in the mouth,
bad smell in breath, improper intake of food and weight loss.
It is advisable to undergo medical tests when there is bad breath and
metallic taste in the mouth.
But bad breath and metallic taste in the mouth can also be caused by other
health reasons such as poor oral hygiene and allergies. Such problems can
be reduced with simple treatment.
If the taste and breathing problem does not subside after taking the
treatment, it is better to get the kidney tests done.
