13 Dead Giveaways About Your Health According To Your Tongue Color

May 08, 2018

Most people don't realize it, but the tongue is one of the most telling features of the human body when it comes to your overall health. Some doctors are able to make complete medical diagnoses by simply using a technique based on reading the tongue for signs of distress. These signs might come in the form of discoloration, surface abnormalities, irregular shape, or irregular size.

Below you'll find a list of 13 basic signs you might find your tongue and how those conditions relate to your overall health. For the best results, you should only inspect your tongue under natural sunlight before you brush your teeth in the morning. Ideally, you'd want to perform the inspection as soon as you awaken so your tongue is undisturbed after the night's rest. Don't even take a sip of water. If you feel the need to inspect your tongue during the day, make sure to do so at a time in which you haven't eaten or consumed liquid in the previous hour for the most accurate results.
