When someone snores loudly, and who stops breathing for 10-20 seconds during sleep, then resumes breathing with a gasp, choke, or loud snort, he or she may be suffering from Sleep Apnea. It is a medical condition characterized by interrupted breathing patterns during sleep.
The frequency can be from five to thirty times an hour, and this can be life threatening because of the decreasing amount of oxygen in the blood.
Sleep apnea affects one in about every 25 adults, but 90% of all sleep apnea cases aren’t reported.
Most sufferers do not wake up during these episodes of non-breathing, and are not aware of the medical condition, hence it is not being reported.
Often, it is the sufferer’s bed partner or roommate who initially notices the signs.
Obesity is known to cause sleep apnea due to the additional fat around the neck that pushes against the airways. What is unknown is that sleep apnea in turn causes obesity. This happens because when the amount of oxygen in the blood decreases, it causes the body to store more fat to replace the decreased energy reserves.
It’s a vicious cycle that doesn’t end until remedied.
If you have these symptoms - overweight, with dry/sore throat, headaches in the morning, and feeling of tiredness during the day, then you may be suffering from sleep apnea.
Most doctors claim that even a 10% reduction in weight will prevent sleep apnea and help you sleep better. Losing weight may be a helpful advice, but it is easier said than done.
With my Snoring Program, you don’t need to do that.
My Snoring Program does not involve rigorous exercise and weight loss, as attested by hundreds of my clients who have used my program. They have maintained that it has cured their sleep apnea and made them sleep better at night.
By religiously doing the steps in my Snoring Program, you will condition your body to avoid going into “panic mode” during sleep, and the increased energy that you will get from sleep will in turn make it easy for you to maintain a healthy body weight. Two birds with one stone.
But hitting three birds with one stone is even better, right?
My new Weight Loss Program will also help sleep apnea sufferers deal with its causes - as well as a list of other problems caused by the extra weight.
My Weight Loss Program involves exercises that are not even workout exercises. No one has probably ever heard of these exercises before.
Check out my Snoring Program and Weight Loss Program for a better sleep and a better life.
