For optimal vocal health, enjoy a glass of Watermelon Cucumber Juice from The Acid Watcher Cookbook. Watermelon (lycopene) and cucumber (lignans) act as a “food steroid,” which can reduce swelling in tissues, including the vocal cords.

Prep time: 5 minutes

Many people believe that tomatoes have the highest concentration of lycopene, which is a powerful natural anti-inflammatory agent. This is why men hear from their doctors that tomatoes are good for prostate health.

1. Don’t shout [shouting makes the vocal cords SLAM together, which causes swelling, which causes raspy-ness]

2. Don’t talk on your cell phone outside [it’s too loud]

3. Don’t whisper [whispering STRETCHES the vocal cords, which causes vocal straining + fatigue]

What Swells the Vocal Cords

on June 28, 2017 - 1:24pm

1. Smoking [especially cigarettes] swells the vocal cords

2. Don’t lie down after you eat

[It takes 3-4 hours for your stomach to empty, so lying down causes reflux or rise up into your throat + vocal cords]
