a meal it's better not to TALK because if you talk, you don't chew properly. I'm talking about materially, not to mention SPIRITUALLY. Also, sometimes when you talk, you swallow [your food down] the wrong CHANNEL. Instead of going to your STOMACH, it goes into your lungs or your nose and causes you trouble. Sometimes you can die from it! So since ancient times people have said that when you eat, you shouldn't talk. That's the logical explanation but there's another explanation, which is that most of the time the devil goes through the mouth because it's the widest opening of all and we keep it open most of the time. If there's anything that wants to possess us, it can enter through the mouth very quickly. So when we eat and open the mouth and talk all the time, the devil will hear it and then go inside with the food. Or it will contaminate our food and make it indigestible for us or make it poisonous or make it do something TROUBLESOME when it enters our bodyHope this will help you.Please mark it as brainliest.☺️
