9Eat Slowly
Eating to quickly could force your throat to swallow more air, thus disrupting the usual breathing pattern. Also, pieces of food can trap the air and cause hiccups. Therefore, it is advisable to take small bites and make sure to chew your foods carefully before swallowing to avoid hiccups. Also, wash down your foods with a sip of water to keep it from being stuck in the throat, which can also cause hiccups. If possible, try to have small meals spreading during the day rather than overeating at a single and indulged one. If you don’t get used to slow eating, a useful tip is to count when chewing. This will help you focus and slow down your chewing process. [9]
