Pneumonia is a fatal disease, especially when you get old. The reflex is getting dull and aspiration causes pneumonia.
Get something to drink and test this.
a. Look right and drink... at leat 3 ships
b.Look left and drink... at least 3 ships
Which is easier? The answer should be "a". It is because of the anatomical position. Esophagus is right and trachea is left. So it is safer to drink when you look right. If you feed someone old, you should stand right side. And don't forget about this when you get old.to prevent pneumonia
I know it is a strange topic. I thought it might be interesting for my friends on AnD. To be honest , this was my homework for english lesson. I had to teach my friends something I know and practical. There was only one, he is my english teacher, who said it was easier to drink when he looked left. I've seen a few patients who have every organs the opposite side. I mean... those people have thier heart on right side, stomach on right side, liver on left side and so on... He might have esophagus on left side and his right eye might be his left eye. :P
