"airing" On The Side Of Caution....

I hear a lot of people talking about too much air getting in while eating. How can you avoid that? Air is all around us...

Small bites & chew thoroughly. A little air is inevitable as it will mix with your saliva, but taking your time will minimize excess air.

Taking time between swallows is something I've done since the beginning. When I first forced the water down I noticed that a small burp occured after each swallow. Now I wait for them before the next bite. They don't always come but I give them time.

Small bites, spaced out, and watch your posture, too :)

PS - avoid mixing your liquids with your food.

PPS - I burped sooo much for several months, and still do to an extent...
