London, Sep 19 (IANS) Singer-actress Selena Gomez has revealed she drinks olive oil to protect her voice.

Gomez has several rituals which she undertakes before a performance and claims her unusual choice of beverage helps her voice, reports contactmusic.com.

‘Before I go on stage, I drink olive oil. It’s disgusting, but it’s good for your throat. Then I grab my band and we do vocal warm ups and dance. After that, we put our hands together and say a little prayer,’ she said.
