Crying is really bad for your vocal cords.
When we're upset, our vocal cords tighten and we can't speak. And when I lie - well, I can't lie, because the same thing happens - everyone who knows me knows that when I start squeaking, I've started lying.
If you actually relax your vocal cords they actually work better.
I have as many pictures of my vocal cords as I do of my children. I have a great ear, nose and throat doctor, and we look at them - if there's some redness, maybe I'll take a little time off.
I prefer alkaline water. Good for the vocal cords, especially if you take it in the morning.
