You must have seen that whenever you go to the doctor, first of all, he makes you open your mouth and sees your tongue. Do you know why this happens? So let us tell you that by seeing the colour of the tongue, doctors know everything about your health because health can be estimated from the color of the tongue. If the color of the tongue is changed for a long time, then it shows your various problems. If you also want to know about your health problems, then stick your tongue out once in front of the mirror. Today in this episode we are going to tell you how the color of your tongue tells about your health.
What should be the color of a normal tongue?
Normally the color of the tongue is light pink. The light white coating on it is also a completely normal condition. The texture of the normal tongue is slightly fuzzy. If your tongue is also like this then you do not need to worry.
White coating on the tongue
There is a slight layer of white color on top of a healthy tongue, but if this layer becomes thick then it may mean that there is a disturbance in the digestive system of the person. In such a situation, by changing your diet, you can eliminate this problem. Apart from this, the color of the tongue can also mean that your body is dehydrated and oral hygiene is in very poor condition.
Yellow tongue
If there is yellowness in the tongue, it means there is a lack of nutritious elements in the body. Which you can easily fix by changing your diet. If there is any problem in your digestive system or if you have liver or stomach problems, then the yellow coating on the tongue gets accumulated. But for this, you do not need to worry.
Smooth tongue
If your tongue is greasy, it means that your body is deficient in some essential vitamins. That is, those vitamins that make red blood cells in our body. For example, when there is a deficiency of vitamin B12 and iron in the body, the tongue looks smooth. Let us tell you that a slight bulge is felt on the upper part of the tongue of the person, which is known as papillae. On the other hand, when vitamins are deficient in the body, then these papillae start falling, and the tongue becomes smooth.
