2023.05.03 – 0853 – The Food And Drink Naughty List The ‘bad’ listDairy - Milk, yoghurt, cheese can all be difficult for the body to break down and so cause acid reflux which can ‘burn’ your vocal folds. It can also thicken mucus, causing you to clear your throat more often and reducing the manoeuvrability of your tongue. Processed sugar - Boiled and chewy sweets and juice drinks can be heavily processed causing phlegm in some people. And after an initial sugar rush, comes the sugar crash affecting you mentally too. Caffeine - Coffee is thought to cause dehydration in some people. It will certainly cause a post-caffeine crash which you want to avoid.Chocolate - Chocolate contains not only dairy and sugar, but also natural caffeine - so it’s a triple-threat snack attack.Fried food and butter - Oil and grease are both heartburn triggers. Butter is of course a dairy product too (see above). Iced water - Water’s good yeah? Well room temperature is best, to avoid throat-shock has you swallow it. Carbonated drinks and sodas - These are certainly not, top of the pops. Not only do they have belching-induced bubbles but also invariably they’re full of sugar.Alcohol - Leave ‘warming up lubrication’ to the announcers of yesteryear. Not only will the use of drink affect the perception others have of you, it could make you slur your words. On its own it may dry your throat, and with a mixer it may overly increase your sugar intake.Spicy food - Heartburn issues again I’m afraid. Hosted on Acast.
