hubguy 0 #1 August 28, 2003 Here goes the weird one. My girlfriend who doesn't jump tells me that I have a weird breath after a jump sometimes it lasts until the evening. Have any of you had a similar situation and if so do you have any idea what may cause this? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blahr 0 #2 August 28, 2003 All kinds of chemicals and hormones get dumped into your bloodstream when doing something very high intensity. A lot of that gets blown off via the lungs as a part of normal respiration. The body elimiantes waste products in a variety of ways. This can definately affect your breath.

phonics1981 0 #3 August 28, 2003 Maybe she's using your jumping as a polite excuse to tell you you have arse breath Na only joking. I dont know if my breath SMELLS different after a jump but my mouth tastes different. ------------------------------------------------------ "Ive given up on sigs cos I make a mess of them!" ------------------------------------------------------ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jtval 0 #9 August 28, 2003 well heres a view that im surprised no one mentioned. ALOT of ppl Forget to eat while they are jumping. its not pretty to smell someones breath who hasnt eaten all day. plus if you are camping at the DZ for a weekends or something there is sure to be higher intake of alcohol. that gets cycled through your body during the day or if you go to the DZ earlier then you normally wake up you body will get exhuasted and for some reason that affects ppl's breath too.... I make it a point to ALWAYS HAVE BREATHE MINTS at my DZ. we fly cessnas so its almost ritualistic to pass them around. they dont last as long at a bigger dz but usually someone has mints to pass aroundMy photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hubguy 0 #11 August 29, 2003 Quote Just make sure you stop for a few beers before you go home.... Darn. I do not drink alcohol I am one of the weird ones. I do relate to a few things you people have said, I do get up earlier to go jump and I eat less during those days. Thanks everybody for your suggestions.

bch7773 0 #13 August 29, 2003 my guess is that you've inhaled so much "gasses" from the ride to altitude, and so your lungs become infused with the scent, and it changes your breath. MB 3528, RB 1182 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
