New Trend Alert: Speech Fasting

Can you imagine not uttering a word until lunch time? For us radio peeps it wouldn’t be possible but there is a new trend called speech fasting that has been circling social media this week. It started with a singer in Europe who would not talk in an effort to save her voice. This trend or idea isn’t new but there seem to be some health benefits by staying silent for extended periods of time. One study saw a drop in blood pressure while another showed a reduced level of cortisol (the stress hormone that can cause you to gain weight). If you are going to try speech fasting make sure you let your job and your significant other know or else it could pose some problems for you.
