Seriously. According to a story I was reading online, fat tongues can be a problem.
Hard to believe, but it all sort of makes sense. If you are overweight, your tongue could also be overweight and a fat tongue can lead to sleep apnea, which can lead to other health issues.
So the idea is, get your tongue to lose weight. What?
It’s not like you can get it to exercise more, although many of us are possibly thought to exercise out tongues too much. In my case, I get paid to exercise my tongue, although if I listen to those around me, I may snore a bit too much, which could be a sign of sleep apnea so possibly all that tongue exercise isn’t having the desired effect.
But you can put your tongue on a diet. Although that involves putting the rest of you on a diet. But apparently, if the rest of you does manage to drop a few pounds, your tongue could also slim down which will be better for you.
This may all be very true. It does make a certain amount of sense. On the other hand, I think I’ll feel better if I just stop reading articles on how to make myself feel better.
There may also be something to some of those old sayings. Like “ignorance is bliss”.
