吃過大蒜后要開會，最快的方法是什么?

我喜歡午餐吃大蒜面包。要想在下午的會議上清新口氣，最快的方法是什么?

As you digest your lunch, the smelly, sulphur-containing compounds (‘sulphides’) in the garlic are absorbed into your bloodstream, and will come out via the exhaled breath from your lungs, and even from pores in your skin. Brushing your teeth (and your tongue), and swirling with mouthwash, will help to temporarily mask the smell.

當你消化午餐時，大蒜中難聞的含硫化合物(“硫化物”)會被吸收到你的血液中，然后通過呼出的氣體從肺里出來，甚至從皮膚的毛孔里出來。刷牙(和舌頭)，用漱口水漱口，有助于暫時掩蓋異味。

Even better, though, a 2016 study at Ohio State University found that lettuce, apples and mint leaves contain enzymes and chemicals called ‘phenolic compounds’ that break down garlic’s sulphides before they reach the blood. So chomp on apples or mint leaves after lunch!

更妙的是，俄亥俄州立大學(Ohio State University) 2016年的一項研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，生菜、蘋果和薄荷葉含有一種被稱為“酚類化合物”的酶和化學物質，可以在大蒜的硫化物進入血液之前將其分解。所以午飯后吃點蘋果或薄荷葉吧!
