Most people take pills the wrong way
Somehow we have been led to believe that we must;
put the pill's in your mouth,
take a swig of water,
TIP our head BACK
- and swallow.
Well, the tipping back part is what gets people into trouble. Tipping back closes off the throat. Many people still have success getting the pills down, but it still takes some conscious effort.
When we sit at the dinner table and eat, we don't pop food into our mouths, chew, tip our head back- and swallow. No, we chew and are generally looking down at our plate negotiating the next mouthful. We certainly swallow mouthfuls bigger than a pill and have no problem when eating because the throat opens up when we tip our head forward.
When people take a pill, the best move for effective swallowing is to put the pill in the mouth, take a swig and tip the chin down towards the chest. The pill goes right down! Try it! After some mindful practice, a handful of supplements will go right down all at once.
