Singing requires a lot of air and the lungs play a crucial role in it. The strength and function of the lungs are essential for projecting a strong voice, explains Prof. Benny Negris, director of the otolaryngology department at the Meir Medical Center of the Klalit Group. In some cases, singers may experience swelling of the vocal cords due to strain and overexertion from intense rehearsals or performances. To reduce swelling and improve voice quality, some singers use inhaler devices to introduce medications or steroids into their bodies. However, young singers like Eden are unlikely to have underlying lung problems and may only use such devices with substances like water or saline solution.
Voice training exercises are also important for maintaining vocal health. According to Prof. Negris, vocal training has benefited cantors who perform for long hours without amplification. As a professional singer, Eden likely engages in such exercises before rehearsals to ensure optimal performance.
Before a big performance, Dr. Slovik recommends that Eden drink plenty of water, avoid smoking, and stay in humid areas. Sucking on sour candies can stimulate saliva production, which helps maintain hydration in the throat. These practices can help prevent vocal strain and ensure a strong voice during performances.
In conclusion, singing requires good lung health as well as proper training exercises to maintain optimal vocal health. Young singers like Eden need to take care of their lungs by drinking plenty of water and avoiding smoking while engaging in proper oral hygiene practices such as sucking on sour candies before performances to prevent any possible harm to their voices.

It is important for singers to take care of their voices by practicing proper breathing techniques during singing sessions.
Young singers like Eden need more attention when it comes to protecting their voices from damage caused by excessive singing or rehearsals.
In addition to proper breathing techniques, young singers should also learn how to warm up their voices before singing sessions.
Singing is an art form that requires dedication and practice but it is equally important to take care of one’s vocal health if one wants to achieve success in this field.
