It is time for a dialog about health as it relates to singing!
Whether you are a classical/opera singer like me, or into other forms of music, a singer has to be healthy first and foremost. We must develop and maintain good vocal health, using proper techniques and avoiding smoking, and excessive alcohol. We cannot be too careful when we make a living that depends on two little membrane folds (we call vocal chords) inside our throats.
It is ironic that many of us tend to have sinus or allergy problems that attack our livelihood. The symptoms always seem to flare up just when we have to perform. So we have to be careful not to hurt our voices. But what do you do?
Luckily for me I have found the New Silver Solution by Nutronix International. Since I started using it 7 months ago, I have kept my allergies in check and had no sinus infections. I have always be plagued by sinus infections, but no more. This patented formula is safe and is a great first line of defense becuase it helps the immune system do its job.
I partner it with Sub lingual B-12. Now NuRev, the Resveratrol product (that also includes Acai, Noni berry, and more) is taking the world by storm. It is the best thing since sliced bread.
Then it is important to stay hydrated and to keep you body in PH balance as well. I love the o2 Proformance Hydration for this. But introducing whole foods into your diet is one of the best things you can do in the long run. Try natural sugar, whole wheat pasta, and grains. These small changes can even shed inches from your waistline-Try NuStart- gotta look good on stage right?
All of these products come from Nutronix International. They also have a great skin care system called Atria, which I partner with Mary Kay. Wellness inside and out, is the goal.
Use your music to deal with your emotional issues during this time of year where memories and relationship issues are tough. I like to say Singer Heal Thyself.
Of course having affordable health insurance is a big issue for professional singers. I have found some sites online that give competitive quotes for several companies at a time. If you are an AGMA member, they offer discount cards for your health needs. I think they are looking for a way to help insure members in the future.
