Old quote states, “all parts of the human body get tired eventually – except the tongue”, maybe that’s because our tongues are the strongest muscles in our bodies.
Next time you’re about to dig into your favourite meal think about this. Over your entire lifespan, your mouth would have produced two swimming pools full of saliva.
