Terrific Tongue Exercises
Move Your Tongue The Right Way! Terrific Tongue Exercises! Your tantalizing tongue is used for talking, eating and tasting treats. Made of muscles, your one and only tongue is covered with tiny taste buds that detect chemical flavors in food and drinks. Dr. Nancy’s Mission Tongue Possible Teaches Tongue Toning and Technique! Lick Your Lips and Listen Up! Taste Facts: Over 10,000 taste buds (called "Papillae") are located on the surface of your tongue and detect the four basic flavors on different tongue taste centers. So.... Where Do you Taste??????? Sweet: Tip of tongue Salty: Around the sides and at the front Sour: Toward the back edges Bitter: Way Back by your tonsils P.S. There is another flavor called "umami" which is best described as the flavor of monosodium glutamate, described as savory. Fun Fact: Taste Bud Cells only last a week before being renewed! Remember, Smell and Taste are Connected! See.... your nose just upstairs from your tongue! Enjoy these wonderful and fun exercise that strengthen and tone the muscles in your terrific tongue! A Healthy Tongue is a wonderful thing! Love, Dr. Nancy
