On a sunny day, Chen Ming and a few friends decided to go to an orchard in the suburbs to pick strawberries.
Everyone happily picked up the red strawberries in the green orchard, and from time to time raised the ripe fruit to their mouths to taste the sweet taste.
The conversation naturally turned to health, and it just so happened that the brother of one of my friends, who is a doctor, once said:
"Many times, by looking at a person's tongue, we can make a preliminary judgment about his physical condition. ”
Chen Ming is a veterinarian, and in addition to caring about the health of animals, he also pays great attention to the popularization of human health.
He was intrigued by the topic and began to share some unknown health tips with his friends.
He says that people don't usually associate changes in the tongue directly with physical health;
But in fact, the color, shape, and texture of the tongue can reveal many health secrets.
First, Chen Ming mentions the color change on the tongue.
A normal tongue should be reddish with an even surface with a thin layer of white moss, which is a sign of health.
If the tongue is pale in color, it may be a digestive problem, such as an upset stomach or poor absorption of nutrients;
If the tongue appears dark red, there may be inflammation or infection in the body.
These changes are subtle, but they are warning signs from our bodies.
Next, he talks about the thickness of the moss on his tongue.
In general, the tongue coating should be thin and even, which indicates a healthy digestive system.
If the tongue coating is unusually thick or flaking, it may be a sign of weakened digestive system.
For example, heavy white moss may indicate indigestion, while yellow moss may indicate a heat illness in the body.
Chen Ming also specifically mentions a situation in which the "map-like" changes on the tongue are made.
This is a rarer condition that manifests as a marked difference in color and texture in different areas of the tongue surface;
This may be related to genetic factors, but it can also be a manifestation of a deficiency of certain trace elements.
To further illustrate these points, Chen cited some specific cases.
He mentioned a patient whose tongue was abnormally dark red for a long time, accompanied by symptoms such as fatigue and fever;
Tests reveal a serious bacterial infection in the body.
After the treatment, not only the symptoms were relieved, but the color of the tongue gradually returned to normal.
In addition, Chen Ming also mentioned a study on tongue coating.
Studies have shown that among more than 500 participants, digestive and absorption problems are prevalent in those with thick tongue coatings, especially in the elderly.
These data suggest that surface changes in the tongue are closely related to physical health.
For these small details that are not usually paid attention to, a high degree of interest and attention is expressed.
We often say that 'the eyes are the windows to the soul', so if the tongue is compared to a barometer of physical health;
What other small physical details do you think can reveal about our health?
This question sparked a lively discussion, which not only deepened their understanding of health knowledge, but also made this outing full of fun to learn and discover.
By analyzing this question in depth, we can find that many details of the body;
For example, the color and texture of the nails, the clarity of the whites of the eyes, and even the shine and loss of the hair can all reflect the health of the human body to a certain extent.
By looking at these small details, which are often overlooked, we can detect health problems in time and improve our own health by changing our lifestyle habits and diet.
