What are the closing of the larynx exercises
Exercises to close your larynx can improve your swallowing ability. You can strengthen your larynx muscles by practicing them. The larynx (also known as your voice box) is the portion of your throat. Before you swallow, ensure that your food is properly sized, shaped, and consistent. When you swallow the material travels through your mouth and into your throat, called the pharynx. The chewed food passes through a long tube known as the esophagus. It then enters the stomach and your gastrointestinal tract. When you breathe, air moves from your mouth and through your pharynx to the larynx (towards the lungs). The epiglottis flap, also known as the swallowing pouch, moves to block food particles from reaching your larynx. To aid in this movement, the larynx's muscles pull upward. They also stay closed during swallowing. This stops food entering your lungs. Swallowing requires coordinated actions from these muscles. Sometimes, they may not work. It can lead to dif
