I can only swallow at a rate of like once every two seconds at the fastest… Why?
In: Biology
Swallowing is quite a complicated process–it involves the movement of a large chunk of thyroid cartilage and also requires the passage through to the windpipe to be closed off, to avoid food or water getting in there. That all takes time. If you try to short-cut it then it won’t work very well–I’m sure you’ve choked on something when you tried to swallow it too fast.
