White coating: A normal tongue coating is thin, white and moist. The tongue coating is thin, white and overly smooth, which is generally seen in superficial symptoms and cold syndromes. If the tongue coating is thick, white and dry, it means that there is a lesion in the gastrointestinal tract, which is often seen in various symptoms of gastritis, enteritis and bad breath. At the same time, thick white tongue coating is also a warning of gastrointestinal metaplasia, and the severity of intestinal metaplasia is directly related to gastric cancer.

Thick moss: The thickness of the moss is determined by whether the bottom is visible or not. If the tongue cannot be seen through the coating, it is called thick coating. If you have symptoms of gastrointestinal disease, the appearance of thick tongue coating indicates that the condition is already serious and you need to be hospitalized for treatment in time.

Thick white tongue coating is just a symptom. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that it is closely related to stomach fire. Most cases of thick white tongue coating are caused by diseases in the stomach, which can be harmful to the body if not treated in time:

1. It causes unpleasant odor in the mouth and even bad breath.

2. It will affect people’s appetite and thus affect digestive function.

3. It will cause stomach heat, and the accumulated heat will lead to facial acne.

2. What to do if your tongue has thick white coating?

1. Eat a light diet

Thick tongue coating indicates poor digestive function. At this time, you should reduce the intake of meat and fatty foods and eat more easily digestible foods. If it is difficult to reduce the amount of meat, you can replace red meat such as beef, mutton and pork with white meat such as fish and chicken. White meat is easier to digest. In addition, you should eat more vegetables and consume enough vegetables every day, such as celery, rapeseed, etc., to increase gastrointestinal motility and promote digestion.

2. Drink more health porridge

Porridge is the best for nourishing the spleen and stomach, mainly because porridge is easy to digest, especially Eight Treasure Porridge, Four Black Porridge (black beans, black rice, black sesame seeds, coix seeds), etc. Drinking it after the various beans are fully cooked is good for the stomach. Among them, fresh peanuts are rich in protein and fat, which can effectively protect the spleen and stomach. If you persist, the tongue coating will slowly recover.

3. Keep exercising

If you can persist in exercising for half an hour every day, you can enhance your body's resistance, accelerate blood circulation, and be of great benefit to strengthening the spleen and stomach function. Exercise requires a proper method and a combination of work and rest. Don't overdo it, otherwise it will hurt your body.

4. Keep a happy mood

When you are in a good mood, your body will naturally feel light during diet and work, and your spleen and stomach will function normally, which is very beneficial for relieving the symptoms of thick white tongue coating. If you are often depressed, or experience extreme joy or sorrow, it will cause great harm to your internal organs. Therefore, we should pay attention to relieving stress and not be a workaholic. After all, our health is the capital of revolution.
