Food Hacks

This is a nice topic.   This post is just slightly different. I've been eating raw carrots lately for my tummy but everytime i eat a raw carrot...i get the hiccups.  

I thought...this is odd.  But i forgot about it till tonite when i was eating a raw carrot and i decided to see if anyone else has that 'problem' with raw carrots.  Seems they do....and sometimes cauliflower, hot drinks, etc can cause hiccups and 'they' don't know why.  

Some suggested that the raw carrots irritates the phrenic nerve and it cause your diaphragm to spasm.   OTHERS say that the carrots are so crunchy and if you're eating it fast and i eat them fast cause i really DON"T like carrots, that you swallow a lot of air.

So.  Tonite i slowed down a bit, took my time chewing well and then swallow.....and guess what.  So far no hiccups.  

I'm off to bed.

oh.one more thing.

If I eat carrots, I usually greet everyone with "What's up, Doc"?

I get hiccups/indigestion if I eat too quickly. If I chew it well, no problems.
