@anastasiabeautyfascia: Everyone talks about where the tongue should rest. Almost nobody talks about how the tongue should swallow. And that’s a much bigger deal than people realize. You swallow hundreds to thousands of times every day. Research in orofacial myology and swallowing mechanics shows that when the tongue doesn’t do its job properly, the lips, cheeks, chin, and surrounding facial muscles often compensate. In other words, every swallow becomes a mini workout for the wrong muscles. Over time, those compensation patterns become your face. More tension around the mouth. More tension in the chin. More tension in the cheeks. A proper swallow is not just about digestion. It’s about facial function. The tongue should do the work. Not your lips. Not your cheeks. Not your mentalis muscle. So here’s a question: When you swallow, does your tongue do the work… Or does your face? Most people have never checked.
