The throat began to degenerate at the age of 40! Lifting your chin and practicing your voice can prevent pneumonia.

The position of Adam's apple has been declining since the age of 40. However, training can stop the decline. Whether women or men, the position of Adam's apple began to decline little by little when they were young. Especially after the age of 60, the decline is very fast. The Adam's apple, which was originally located between the fifth cervical vertebra and the sixth cervical vertebra, has dropped to a place lower than the sixth cervical vertebra. Most notably, it began to decline in the 1940s. Not to mention people in their thirties, I'm afraid even people in their forties and fifties don't realize that the position of Adam's apple is declining. But the drooping of the Adam's apple will progress slowly without knowing it. If you ignore it and do nothing, you will decline rapidly after 60 years old. (Editor's recommendation: throat aging: the older you get, the lower your voice ... 8 tips to keep your throat young) Don't you think this is terrible? The position of Adam's apple drops, which proves that the function of laryngeal muscles moving up and down the larynx is declining. As mentioned earlier, this muscle declines, the Adam's apple drops, the larynx is difficult to lift up, and the epiglottis is difficult to cover, which will greatly increase the possibility of swallowing by mistake. If you eat by mistake, it will definitely increase the possibility of pneumonia caused by eating by mistake, and it is also likely to be fatal in a short time. We have been raising this "problem bud" that will lead to a terrible state since we were forty years old, but we just don't know it ourselves. However, ladies and gentlemen, as long as we find the decline of swallowing ability as early as possible and take countermeasures, we can pull out the bud of this problem in time. Swallowing ability can be exercised. Exercising the muscles of the throat at ordinary times can exercise swallowing ability and prevent functional decline. Some people may think, "How to exercise the muscles of the throat? Please rest assured that just as exercising muscles can make hands and feet grow muscles, training and exercise can also strengthen the muscles of the throat. Moreover, the strength of lifting the Adam's apple and the strength of supporting the Adam's apple can be gradually strengthened by exercising the muscles that lift the Adam's apple, and the position of the Adam's apple will naturally rise gradually. Therefore, when you are young, you should strengthen the muscles of the Adam's apple as much as possible, so that the position of the Adam's apple will not drop and will remain high forever. This can effectively reduce the risk of pneumonia caused by swallowing. Therefore, please be sure to start from usual and consciously strengthen the muscle strength of your throat.

No matter how old you are, all muscles can exercise. It is best to start exercising when you are young, but even when you are 70 or 80 years old, active exercise will grow muscles. Generally speaking, muscle growth takes about six weeks. So do the muscles of the throat. Even if the swallowing function declines in old age, as long as the muscle strength is strengthened now, the swallowing function may be restored. And strict and painful training is completely unnecessary. As long as you continue to do light stretching or gymnastics training, you can fully exercise the muscles of your throat and strengthen your swallowing ability. Just now I said, "The drooping of the Adam's apple is the same as the drooping of the ass." However, in today's world, no matter how old you are, there are people who keep a beautiful figure through training, regardless of gender. Hang your hips and squat down to exercise, no matter how old you are, you can carry your back tightly. Please think of throat training as the same as hip training. Seriously training the function of the throat from an early age can also keep the position of the Adam's apple high and keep it healthy for a long time. Exercise throat muscles and restore eating ability! I will introduce these cases that show the effect of throat training here, although these examples are a bit extreme. When Mr Morita (pseudonym), who is in his seventies, came to our clinic, he had undergone gastrostomy and could not eat from his mouth, which led to malnutrition. However, according to the examination results, I thought that "it is possible to recover after treatment", gave him guidance on esophageal dilatation treatment and nutrition management, and asked him to start training to improve Adam's apple. So, there are signs that you can eat from your mouth bit by bit. After one year, you can not only eat white rice, but also remove gastrostomy. It goes without saying how happy he and his family are about the gastrectomy. Just like this, starting throat training can sometimes have a dramatic effect. What kind of training can exercise the muscles of the throat, which will be explained in detail later. In a word, ladies and gentlemen, the position of Adam's apple has been declining since the 1940s. In order not to let the throat function decline, we should start "training to strengthen swallowing ability" as soon as possible. Basic training of strengthening swallowing ability by throat muscle training: glug training first explain "glug training", which is the most basic training to strengthen swallowing ability. Glug training includes various throat stretching exercises and gymnastics. By doing these exercises, you can improve your swallowing ability in an all-round way Move the throat muscles, neck muscles, cheeks, tongue and other parts related to swallowing, and do stretching exercises to make the movements of all parts more flexible and carry out the whole swallowing exercise. In a series of sequences, the most important ones are "forehead swallowing gymnastics" and "chin lifting gymnastics". Both are "throat muscle training", which can directly exercise "the muscles that move the throat up and down (the muscles that hold the throat)". Push each other by hand and forehead, hand and chin, and exert force around the throat, so as to exercise the levator larynx. This training seems simple, but repeated training every day can really exercise the throat muscles, so please do it, don't be lazy and perfunctory. So, let's take a look at the challenges in turn! Do "forehead swallowing gymnastics" This is a gymnastics in which the "hand root" is placed on the forehead and the hand and forehead are pushed against each other. The action of the head is to press down hard with the attitude of looking at the navel, and the action of the hand root is to push up hard, so as to push back the forehead with the strength not lost to the head. "Palm" can't do its best, so the principle is to rely on "hand roots" to push each other. Keep pushing each other for five seconds. Repeat this action five to ten times. When doing this "forehead swallowing gymnastics", it is best to feel that the strength falls near the Adam's apple when pushing the other side. If you insist on doing this, you can exercise the muscles of the Adam's apple. It would be better if you could do it while watching TV or when you have time to take a shower. The second step is to do chin-lifting gymnastics. This is a gymnastics with the thumb on the chin and pushing each other. The action of the head is to close the chin and face down to make the force. The action of the hand is to push the chin up and back with the thumb. Just like the "forehead-swallowing gymnastics" on the previous page, push each other for five seconds and repeat it five to ten times. The trick is that when pushing each other hard, the force should fall around the Adam's apple. Repeat every day, you can exercise the muscles that move the Adam's apple up and down. When there is a slight gap, do it while there is a gap.
