 Dietary Treatment

 

Dietary treatment for voice disorders starts with eating a balanced diet in the appropriate amounts in order to keep one's weight at an ideal level and one's energy at a level for proper voice use.

Excessive weight may lead to faulty use of the respiratory muscles extremely important for generating the power of the voice. In addition, proper hydration including 6-8 glasses of water per day (60-72 ounces) is necessary to maintain adequate tissue lubrication.

Singers, especially must be careful not to eat excessively prior to or right after a performance - especially if the performance is late at night and they go to bed right afterward.
