Tips for a Healthy Voice
http://www.livescience.com/4078-10-tips-healthy-voice.html
Some people spend hours at the gym or pounding the pavement to keep
their bodies in shape. But beyond singers and actors, who worries much
about their voices?
1. Drink water to keep your body well hydrated, and
avoid alcohol and caffeine. Your vocal cords vibrate very fast, and
having a proper water balance helps keep them lubricated. Important
note: Foods containing large amounts of water are excellent
hydration-conscious snacks, including apples, pears, watermelon,
peaches, melons, grapes, plums, bell peppers and applesauce.

Are you
harming your vocal cords?
According to Throat Clearing & Harsh Coughing
Throat clearing and harsh coughing are traumatic to the vocal cords and should be reduced as much as possible. One of the most frequent causes for throat clearing and coughing is thick mucus (due to dry vocal folds) or too much mucus (as with a cold) on or below the vocal folds. The safest and most efficient way to clear mucus is by using a gentle, breathy productive cough where there is high airflow with little sound. This can be achieved by using the following strategy: take in as deep a breath as possible, momentarily hold your breath, and produce a sharp, silent “H” sound while you expel the air.
