While it is logical that proper nutrition and adequate rest are required for good singing, a vocalist can either help or hinder their performance by what they eat and when they eat it. A general rule says performers should eat at least an hour before a performance to avoid problems with digestion and to avoid irritating the throat and vocal chords.

This is obviously not good for proper singing. Dairy is high in fat, but this notion needs a little clarification. If you have a cold, respiratory condition...
