Is it because you are greedy for meat that you bite your tongue when you eat?

The old man always says that biting his tongue when eating is because he is greedy for meat. I believed in this statement until I was twelve or thirteen. I don't know if you have the same experience or have been told so, but is it true?

It is said that people basically eat a lot of fish every day, but they still bite their tongues unconsciously. What makes teeth have such a preference for tongue in a certain period of time? We might as well explain it with scientific knowledge.

It's easy to bite your tongue when talking and eating. The workload that each part of the human body can bear is limited. When the workload borne by teeth and tongue reaches the limit instantly, collision will inevitably occur.

In order to avoid the tragedy of biting the tongue, our ancestors told us not to talk when eating and not to talk when sleeping. Of course, this sentence may have other meanings, but there is no denying that avoiding biting your tongue is definitely one of the most important things. When the tongue is overwhelmed and appears inactive, it will choose to hurt itself first.

It is also easy to bite your tongue when you have oral diseases, mainly oral ulcers or swelling. In the process of chewing, our nerve center controls us to avoid touching these places as much as possible. In this process, the teeth will unilaterally change their long-term trajectory, while the tongue is unaware of it.

In this case, we can say that this is completely ignoring the tongue's right to know! But the tongue seems to have no intention of winning this lawsuit at all, but chose to submit to humiliation.

After talking about external reasons, let's talk about the physiological structure of the human body.

In life, we will find that many people often bite their tongues, while some people don't bite several times in their lives. The reason is mainly determined by the structure of human gums and the growth of tongue.

Generally speaking, our tooth structure is that the Gonta of the upper teeth is large and the arch of the lower teeth is too small.

During chewing, the tongue can be well protected by the lower dental arch. However, some people's lower dental arch is too large for a series of reasons, such as genetic inheritance or late mutation, which makes the lower dental arch unable to form a good protection for the tongue.

Others have some problems with tongue growth, and some people are born with big tongues. Their tongues will naturally extend beyond their teeth in the process of opening their mouths, and they will inevitably be rejected by their teeth. Each has its own territory, and according to the rights and interests of the inherent territory, the behavior of the tongue is completely out of line and can be used for military strikes. Of course, this is just a guess. In fact, many times, they still adhere to the Five Principles of Peace and make due contributions to the harmony of this big family.

Sometimes, because of some accidents, such as fighting, hitting people, eating peaches, the teeth fell out, which eventually led to tooth loss. Then, if it is not repaired at the corresponding time, it will cause our tongue to grow back. If you don't fix it all the time, there will be no problem, but if you fix it, then the problem will follow. After all, it is water under the bridge, and the tongue that grows will not retract spontaneously. Although we can ignore the growing part, it is? Repair? This phenomenon happens all the time. Of course it was an accident, and it was just an accident.

In fact, our ancestors told us that biting our tongue was because we were greedy for meat, which made sense.

In the era of material scarcity in the past, meat was absolutely a luxury, and you couldn't eat it if you wanted to. Eating meat has even become synonymous with China's New Year holiday. Once upon a time, except for the very rich, no one else in the family could eat meat a few times a year. Happening to bite your tongue can be used as a reason to buy meat and then improve your life. It's also a good idea.

I still miss my childhood. Although you can't eat meat several times a year, you will be very happy every time you eat it. Instead of looking sad at the meat every day, it finally kills the theory that biting the tongue is because of gluttony.
