As the saying goes, "No fun without wine." While people relax in KTVs, they never forget to socialize over drinks or have some chilled beverages.
After finishing a song, having a cold drink to soothe your throat can indeed be a "pleasure," but it might also suddenly make you a "mute." This is because after singing several songs in a row, overusing your voice causes the blood vessels in your throat to dilate. At this moment, drinking a cold beverage subjects your throat to a sudden cold stimulus, much like a red-hot iron block being suddenly thrown into water. The blood vessels constrict abruptly, obstructing blood flow and worsening the edema of the throat's mucous membrane, leading to voice loss.
Today's KTV services are all-inclusive. Besides drinks, they offer a variety of delicious foods, and many people often have a big meal before singing. In fact, just as you shouldn't exercise right after a meal, you shouldn't eat too much before singing. Puffed snacks, salted and peppered foods, and spicy dishes can all harm your throat and digestive system. Therefore, for those who love karaoke, you must resist the temptation of cold drinks. It's best to drink some warm tea, like chrysanthemum or green tea, or still mineral water without ice after singing. Additionally, try to eat less spicy food; light staples and soups should be the best choice. Besides that, you should also eat more fruits and vegetables.
