Is hiccups useful to your body?
Hiccups are only when the diapharm (a muscel that controls your lungs when you breath. Like when ever you breath in, your diapharm flexes and causes your lungs the move up and become filled with air.) gets out of wack and instead of going up it goes down when you breath. I learned this in 8th grade so some things may be incorrect, but no they're not bad for your health.
