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.
