We are in a Christmas season where love and happiness is over flowing. That moved me to come up with this topic Your tongue VS your healthIt is important to know that our tongue has role to play when it comes to our health. Before we go on let's talk a little about the tongue.
The tongue, what is it?
I still remember in those days when we were in primary school learning about sense organ. The tongue is known as sense of taste. Why? This is because the tongue has the ability to detect different taste of food, it can taste over 2,000 food and tell you the taste. So wonderful. With the help of tongue, humans and animals can chew and swallow. As the tongue move front and back in the mouth, it helps one to speak. With this and so many wonderful work that the tongue can do, we can rightly say the tongue is important to our health.
What is the color of a healthy tongue?
The real color of a healthy tongue is pink. Be yourself, feel free now to look at your mirror. Bring out tongue, what color are you seeing? You are now your doctor. If it is pink, congratulations, it is healthy and you are not sick. Our tongue changes color when we are sick. I hope you still have your mirror with you. Is your tongue yellow, brown or dark? It shows it is dirty.

What happens when the tongue is purple, black or red. It shows that vital organs like, kidney, liver, heart and lungs is in a danger zone.
It is not the time for self medication. You have to see your doctor immediately to carry out important organ test to find out the health Challenge. Now that we have seen that our tongue has important role to play when it comes to good health. What should we do to keep our tongue healthy?.
