How Being Overweight Causes Sleep Apnea
Sleep Apnea is a medical condition characterized by interrupted breathing patterns during sleep. Someone with this condition normally snores loudly, may stop breathing for 10-20 seconds during sleep, then resumes breathing with a gasp, choke, or loud snort.
This may happen anywhere from five to 30 times an hour, and the decreased amount of oxygen in the blood can be life threatening.
The condition is existing in one in about every 25 adults, but 90% of all sleep apnea cases are not reported.
This is because the sufferer often does not wake up during these episodes of non-breathing, so they often aren’t aware of the medical condition.
Often, it is the sufferer’s bed partner or roommate who initially notices the signs.
It’s common knowledge that obesity is a cause of sleep apnea (the additional fat around the neck pushes against the airways). What isn’t as well-known is the fact that sleep apnea also causes obesity in return - the decreased amounts of oxygen in the blood triggers a “panic mode” in the body, causing it to store more fat to compensate for decreased energy reserves.
The vicious cycle will continue unless it is treated.
You may be suffering from sleep apnea if you have these symptoms - overweight, sore/dry throats and headaches in the morning, and feeling of tiredness during the day.
Most doctors will advise you to lose weight, claiming that even a 10% reduction in weight will curb sleep apnea and help you sleep better. It’s helpful advice, but 10% of your body weight doesn’t sound so easy to shed once you do the math.
That is why I came up with my Snoring Program.
My Snoring Program doesn’t entail any rigorous exercise and weight loss, but has been used by hundreds of my satisfied clients to cure their sleep apnea and get much-needed rest during the night.
By following the easy steps incorporated in my Snoring Program, the body will not go into “panic mode” during sleep. This in turn will increase the energy that you will get from sleep, thus making it easier for you to maintain a healthy body weight. Two birds with one stone.
But wouldn’t it be even better to hit three birds with one stone?
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.
The exercises in my new Weight Loss Program aren’t even workout exercises - in fact, you’ve probably never heard of exercises like these before.
