As we get older, we must drink water slowly, attentively, and cautiously.
When drinking water -
One is to Prevent Falling,
Do not speak or turn your head when there is food or water in your mouth.
And the other is to prevent choking.
A senior citizen of 62 years of age was admitted to the hospital for choking in his lungs after drinking a glass of water at 11:00 pm. He was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment but unfortunately died. His sudden death tells senior citizens that no matter what they do, they must pay attention to two things:
Pneumonia caused by choking on drinking water, milk, soup, etc., which is a common problem among the elderly.
I received this in a WhatsApp forward and felt it should be widely shared.
2. Please eat thick soup instead of clear soup. Clear soup flows quickly, and it is easy to choke when breathing is not smooth.

Take care and share with other elderly.
The elderly are prone to choking because the throat and swallowing muscles have degenerated and lack muscle strength.
If liquid or food enters the trachea and is coughed out, the face will turn red and the blood pressure will soar. Sometimes choking can be fatal.

3. Please do not drink liquid while there is still solid food in your mouth or while chewing. If the water stays in the mouth for too long, it will flow into the trachea and cause choking if you are not careful.
