4. Sit Up Straighter
Poor posture has an awful lot to answer for when it comes to our health and wellbeing generally today. Part of this is due to learned habits, which come from sitting at a desk all day and having our arms hunched forward as we look at a computer screen.
If this then translates to poor posture while eating, then your stomach will be folded over and your food pipe will be bent. This once again narrows the gap between the food in the stomach and the esophageal sphincter, thereby making it that much easier for your food to pile up enter the food pipe.
Your job here is simply to let gravity do its job, which means sitting up straighter so that it can travel directly down your throat and into your stomach.
