Foods for Singers to Avoid on Sundays

• Dairy
• Pop
• Caffeine
• Heavy oils
• Spicy food

Examples:

• Pizza
• Coffee - including soy lattes (I sob)
• Anything fizzy
• Sundaes
• ANYTHING ELSE WITH CHEESE
• Really good Chinese food
• Yogurt
• All you can eat Indian buffets between the hours of 11 and 2pm (no doggie bags) with the really good Chicken Tikka Masala.

Why? Respetively:

• Dairy causes mucus
• Fizzy stuff causes burping
• Caffeine tightens the vocal chords which should be loose
• Oils give ME more mucus
• Spicy food brings more risk of hoarseness and throat irritation

You might also want to consider garlic and onions on that list as well if you actually like the people you worship with. (Thank you for this one, Kristi!)
