Why it is advised not to eat hurriedly and talk or laugh while eating
This is because inside the throat, air and food share a common passage. When we talk flap-like valve of wind pipe opens and when we eat or swallow food it remains close. When we eat hurriedly and talk or laugh while eating, the valve of windpipe get open or does not close properly. If, by chance food particles enter the windpipe, we feel choking or get hiccups.
