Let’s face it, what would you do without your tongue? You wouldn’t be able to speak, drink or taste. Distinguishing the taste between good and bad foods, it helps us to identify poisonous or spoiled foods before we swallow them.

It’s also the only muscle in the body that works without any support from the skeleton.

That being said…..

Here are 5 amazing things you didn’t know about your tongue:

• The tongue has between 2,000 and 4,000 taste buds

• The average tongue is about 3 inches long

• We can’t see our taste buds

• The tongue is an organ

• The tongue has a similar print like a fingerprint

Our tongue is a lifesaver and just simply amazing!
