Question

why we are advised not to talk while eating food?​

Answer 1

Answer:

We are advised not to talk while eating food, because the food may enter the windpipe instead of entering into the food pipe. When we talk, the windpipe gets open and the food may enter into the windpipe.

Answer 2

Well The epiglottis is a leaf-shaped flap in the throat that prevents food from entering the windpipe and the lungs.

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

The epiglottis stands open during breathing, allowing air into the larynx to the Lungs

During swallowing, the epiglottis closes to prevent aspiration of food into the Wind Pipe, force the food to go along the esophagus toward the stomach instead.

Hence When we eat food it closes but when we talk While eating the epiglottis would remain open and the food may enter windpipe which may trigger violent coughing to clear the food material out of trachea or may get serious by Chocking and may be fatal.

That is why it is not advised to talk while eating.
