[Future Useless Eater]

NFOSD is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that seeks to improve the quality of life of those suffering from swallowing disorders (dysphagia).

Fast facts:
Swallowing difficulty can occur at any stage of Parkinson's disease (PD).
The leading cause of death in Parkinson's is aspiration pneumonia due to swallowing disorders.
Difficulty swallowing, called dysphagia, can happen at any stage of Parkinson disease.
Signs and symptoms can range from mild to severe and may include: difficulty swallowing certain foods or liquids, coughing or throat clearing during or after eating/drinking, and feeling as if food is getting stuck.
As the disease progresses, swallowing can become severely compromised and food/liquid can get into the lungs, causing aspiration pneumonia.
Aspiration pneumonia is the leading cause of death in PD.

Difficulty swallowing is a problem of old age in general.

My wife saw a Japanese documentary on the subject and what they recommend is a simple exercise that you do once a day.

They recommend saying some words to force the jaw to exercise.

And to replicate that in English, I suggest you say the words "Youuu BADDDDDDDDD" about 30 times. And when you say "BADDDDD", open up your mouth wide and stick your tougue out.

Needless to say, don't do this at the shopping mall... do it in the car while you're driven. It's a great daily way to exercise the tongue, jaw and neck muscles... which should also slow the wrinkling of the neck skin BTW.

Check it out. It works for me because I am less apt to have trouble swallowing.

GO TRUMP!
