An anti-inflammatory diet is the Zone diet with fish oil, says Sears, who wrote The Anti-Inflammation Zone and whose popular Zone diet recommends low-fat protein, carbs, and heart-healthy monounsaturated fats.
Hoarseness can be caused by a number of conditions. The most common cause of hoarseness is acute laryngitis (inflammation of the vocal cords) caused most often by an upper respiratory tract infection (usually viral), and less commonly from overuse or misuse of the voice (such as from yelling or singing).
Not all hoarseness occurs as a result of an infection or laryngitis. Chronic hoarseness may be unrelated to laryngitis, with the cause varying in severity. Some causes of hoarseness include: 1  Cancer. 2  Age-related changes to the vocal cords.  Paralysis of the vocal cords as a result of another condition.
