Your tongue might look different

Here's one I didn't see coming. Many naturopathic health practitioners could know immediately if you cheated on your diet based on what your tongue looks like. "Many things happen when you cheat on your diet. Aside from spikes in blood sugar, inflammation, acne, and swelling, doctors of Chinese medicine have several ways to see what is occurring with the interior ecology of your body," Acupuncturist Dr. Elizabeth Trattner told me. "The best way for us is to look at your tongue and take your pulses. We can even tell if our regular patients are cheating and not telling us because we become familiar with what your tongue normally looks like."

Dr. Trattner told me that according to Chinese medicine, eating an unhealthy meal can cause heat, dampness, or stagnation in the body. "Dampness will present with a thick white or yellow coat on the tongue," she explained. "Stagnation will have some shade of a purple tongue and perhaps scalloping along the sides. There may be purple veining under the tongue as well." So next time you swing by the drive-thru, take a look at your tongue the next day to see what changes you notice.
