It is not superior, but it can be a good subsution for sugar in some foods or drinks.\n\nHoney has a unique flavor and is very good in some foods.  Many believe that honey has certain properties in it that improve health.  \n\nI use it in some hot drinks and sometimes on cereals.  Give it a try!

vocal chords are muscles also,our lips are controlled by muscles,so the more you work them the tighter and looser they can be made to get,so singing in one tone or the same genre does not excersise them at all.\nget some vocal prep ideas from operatic sites,or singers,you may seek some background on mariah carey also,see if there is any prep ideas in her back ground

Maybe you have laryngitis. If you have laryngitis, your voice will not work.  Give it a few days and it should get better.

If you are a singer after a preformance drink a cup of milk. It coats the throat and prevents it from being hoarse. If you don't like milk try chocolate. Really anything thick in consistancy. Stay away from soda and juices for atleast 5 hours.

Try mixing honey with some lemon juice.  That works well for me when I have a sore throat, and it usually doens't develop into a cold if I start that as soon as my throat starts hurting.

No, it does not have benefits.  Just as cow's milk is created for baby cows (and they stop drinking it at a certain age), honey is meant for bees to use for energy, not humans.\n\nEven though honey is a more natural substance, it really is no safer than sucrose. All the problems associated with sucrose are also associated with honey. Lowered immune system function that can lead to cancer. Damage to the vascular system leading to heart disease and adult onset diabetes mellitus with gangrenous toes and all -are at the end of the sugar freeway. There is also some discussion about additional nutrients found in honey. However, the amounts are miniscule and really not worth the health risk of large doses of simple sugars.

i agree. take a decongestant...the inflammation may be caused by post-nasal drip. your best bet when this happens is to drink warm liquids, tea with lemon is great, but anything warm will work. the other thing is to not speak excessively...keep quiet...that will help perserve the voice you have. finally...DO NOT WHISPER!! whispering actually causes more damage to your vocal cords b/c it makes the work harder than they have to. if you have to speak try to do so like you would normally do.

I've been singing rock and metal for years. I think most of the "growl" singers are hurting their throats to get that sound. Others have that sound naturally and can use it as needed. I can't say how long you can get away with over pushing your voice. For some, it's a couple of years and others may go for 10 years or more. I don't anymore, but I used to over push allot and my voice is fine. Incorrect singing can also give you nodes on your vocal chords that can lead to cancer, so I suggest seeing a good vocal coach who is familiar with heavy metal singing.

A good friend of mine is an opera singer.  She avoids dairy - especially cheese and milk, wheat products, alcohol, anywhere near smoke, and she covers her neck with a scarf all the time to protect her throat, especially in the winter.\n\nTo help clear your voice, take room temperature water, and place a lemon in (remove any seeds as it will make it bitter), this will help you have clearer voice (an old trick the night before you head to an interview) as you will not be clearing your voice.\n\nHope it works out!

First, voice rest is necessary.  Depending upon the degree of strain on the voice it could be a day or two to months.  Soft talking is okay, but singing or voice scales.  If the strain was like you can try easy songs and build up from there.  However, any strain should be felt go back to a full voice resting stage. \n\nAlso, as one ages the voice is one of the first to show the strain so more voice rest between use is important such as between concerns.  \n\nWater is very important to keep the throat moist and lubricated.  So keep a bottle of fresh water handy all the time.  With the right care, a voice can last for years longer, but everyone is different.  Proper care is the key to a longer singing voice.  Good Luck.

Well if it is allergies, some doctors have proven that a tablespoon of local honey a day (not the stuff at the store) helps with allergies.

Lemon and honey all the way. It can be a little much to drink straight like that but I do it when my throat is really irritated. If you can't get past the lemon taste then slip honey in your hot tea instead of sugar.

I've heard that if you eat honey from your local area it works wonders.\n\nBut supermarket or any old honey is no good, it has to be from a local bee keeper.
