Atago Visco, una nueva forma de medir la Viscosidad

◆ The Importance of Thickening Food
A common misconception found among dysphagia diets and care facility diet plans is thickening food / drink (by grinding, pureeing, mashing, chopping, or mincing) makes it easier to swallow.
In reality, thickening food reduces the flow of the substance, and on the contrary, it becomes rather difficult to swallow.
If this is the case, then just why is it important to thicken food?
Individuals with dysphagia (an affliction characterized by the failure in the automatic process of closing the respiratory tract to allow food to pass through the esophagus) need more time when swallowing to allow food to properly pass through the esophagus. Thickening food and beverages is effective in preventing food from accidentally passing through the respiratory tract.
