4. Probiotics
Probiotics are foods and drinks that help to support the growth of wanted bacteria. Many people will hear the word ‘bacteria’ and assume that this is necessarily a negative thing. In fact though, bacteria can be a good thing if it is the healthy kind. Good bacteria plays a lot of important roles in the body: it helps to kill off bad bacteria, it produces a number of important nutrients and hormones, and it does so much more.
You might find that the appearance of white on the tongue is actually due to a fungal infection. This in turn can be due to an imbalance of flora on the tongue. If you try consuming more yogurt along with things like apple cider vinegar, then you may be able to counteract this by supporting the growth of healthy bacteria and flora once again!
Note that you are particularly likely to notice that you have a white tongue if you have been on a course of antibiotics. These medications kill of bacteria and fungi with the intention of removing the negative bacteria that can lead to problems. However, they also, unfortunately, kill off good bacteria – which can lead to a host of problems.
