Usually, eating in bed is not conducive to the digestion and absorption of the stomach, and it is easy to cause indigestion and even choking, etc., so it is not recommended to eat in bed. 1. Indigestion: Because the gastrointestinal tract moves slowly when lying down, eating while lying down can’t digest the food in time, which may lead to the accumulation of food in the stomach and intestines, and symptoms of indigestion. 2. Choking: when lying down, food debris may fall directly into the throat area due to gravity, if the epiglottis is not closed in time, food debris directly into the airway can cause violent choking and coughing, which may result in sudden obstruction of the trachea, leading to respiratory distress. Eating while lying down is a bad habit and should be avoided in daily life. In case of choking symptoms, remove foreign objects from the mouth immediately and call the emergency services.
