Eli5: why drinking water in a sitting position is adviced? What harm to body can happen if we drink water while standing?
In: Biology
Standing should be perfectly fine. Your throat and what not are in the same position as if you’re sitting down. All the digestive organs too.
If you are lying down, there’s a bit of a better chance of choking or reflux from your stomach. Still, not really a great threat unless you have other issues at the time. Humans are designed to drink and eat whenever possible – especially water. stay hydrated!
