Why do we have to contract our throat when swallowing water? I mean it could just slide right down to our tummies.
In: 205
Basically, 2 things
1. You don’t wanna breathe in what you’re drinking/eating. Both your stomach, and your lungs connect at the throat. Lungs are for air only.
2. You also don’t want anything in your stomach accidentally working its way back up. You ever taste your own vomit? Not pleasant.
