What basic safety measures should I follow while eating and drinking?

Updated by SGH-AHPEDIA
Key safety measures include: - Always sitting upright when eating or drinking - Eating and drinking slowly - Ensuring you've finished swallowing before taking the next mouthful - Stopping if you cough or choke (avoid drinking water immediately as this may worsen coughing) - Reducing distractions like TV during mealtimes - Avoiding talking while eating or drinking
