Question

Why shouldn't we talk while eating?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Sitting is the best posture when it comes to eating your meals as is allows the food to digest properly. Bad posture may cause indigestion and lead to weight gain. Talking and eating: Another rule we are often told is to not talk while eating as it may result in choking of the food pipe.

Explanation: When we breathe the epiglottis present at the junction of the wind pipe and oesophagus opens.When we eat food it closes but when we talk when we eat the epiglottis would remain open and the food may enter windpipe which may trigger violent coughing to clear the food material out of trachea.

Thats why it isnt advised to talk while eating.

Epiglottis is the valve which opens and closes for respiration which is present at the junction at the food and wind pipe.

Its main function is to protect wind pipe from foreign materials which may enter.
