Changes in your tongue — color, coating, or texture — can hint at health issues.
White: Could be thrush, dryness, or dehydration. Brush, rinse, stay hydrated, eat probiotics.
Red/Shiny: May signal B12, iron, or folic acid deficiencies.
Cracked: Usually harmless; keep it clean and hydrated.
Purple/Bluish: Could indicate circulation or oxygen problems — seek urgent care if severe.
Check your tongue regularly; it’s a simple guide to your health.
