Question

Answer 1

Answer:

I will advice him or her not to talk while eating . and I will tell them the story how people dead while eating

Answer 2

I would advise them not to talk while eating. While eating, the ‘epiglottis’ which is a muscular flap, covers the windpipe and ensures that food does not enter the trachea or lungs. While eating and talking, this epiglottis opens and there is increased risk of food entering into the windpipe.  

Chewing food properly is important because:

i) It enhances absorption of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients.

ii) Properly chewed food takes less time to be digested.

iii) Fats are broken down and less energy is required to digest the food.
