We normally use our tongue for eating and talking but there is much to what your tongue can really do. It is one or the organs we constantly use but we never pay attention to. Like not everyone knows that is one of the flexible and resilient organs in the human body.

1. Your tongue never gets tired

Unlike other muscles, your tongue never gets tired or sore. The case could be different if you have an underlying illness.

2. Every tongue is different

Just like the fingers every single tongue is different and unique and can be used to identify you just like fingerprint.

3. Your tongue can roll to make a U-shape

This is not practical to everyone but a huge number of people can actually do it.

4. Your tongue can get fat

Despite the fact that your tongue is in continuous exercise, , it can also gain weight as you do. Snoring and sleep issues can be related to having fatty tongue.

5. Tongue doesn't sense different taste in different areas

Poor translation has led to the popular "taste map" while actually scientists l Virginia Collings confirmed that taste can be felt in any part of the tongue. The only difference is to intensity they are percieved.

6. Tongue doesn't taste flavor

Tongue identifies taste not flavor, distinguishing flavor is part of the sense of smell not taste.

7. It is the fastest body part to heal.

Ever figured that if you bite your tongue , after a few minutes you can't even remember what happened. This is due to the saliva and the tissues in the tongue.

8. Color of your tongue reveals your health

Light pink tongue means that you are healthy . If not, you should consider consulting a health practitioner as different color means different complications. This is according to alli14fun.com.
