Submitted by ATL Digital
on June 28, 2017 - 1:26pm

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

Submitted by ATL Digital
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]

2. Cucumber [have tons of natural anti-inflammatory agents]

3. Green Vegetables [you should be eating them anyway]

4. Nuts [put ‘em in your salad]

5. Fruit [could be crazy acidic but an easy fix is “C A R S” - Coconut, Almond, Rice or Soy]

6. Eat 1 lb of vegetables & ½ lb of fruit a day [the average salad is a pound]
