Reduce toxins with tongue scraping
An incredibly simple and beneficial oral health habit that, unfortunately, isn’t known to many or recommended by dentists, at least none of the ones that I’ve been to. Our mouths turn into bacteria incubators at night. This warm, moist and dark environment allows for bacteria to, er get busy, and multiply like crazy. The next morning, unless this bacterial growth is removed, it’s swallowed with that first sip of liquid. So before you reach for that toothbrush, grab your tongue scraper first. Remove the toxins then start to clean.
This is one of those weird habits that I’ve come to really enjoy and do daily. It’s like when you used to never floss (don’t worry, I also went years without flossing) and now it’s as ingrained into your routine as drinking water.

What does your tongue say about your health

A healthy digestive system absorbs nutrients and eliminates toxins leading to improved immunity and reducing the likelihood of disease.
