Advises on Snoring Prevention
Knowing what causes snoring can greatly help you both to find
relief if you arealready suffering from its effects or to find ways
of preventing yourself from becoming a poor victim.
Though not regularly the cause of aggravated problems (except
for social embarrassment and potential risks of discontented
relationship), it is still best if you are not a sufferer
yourself.
Many fall victim in this noisy nighttime dilemma. While some are
not aware thatthey have the condition, many are known to seek ways
to get around the troublesthat it causes.
Like most other conditions, snoring can be prevented. If you are
close to becoming a snorer yourself or if you know one who shows
initial signs of developing this condition, you can find good use
in the advises that we have in this article.Please read on.
Snoring occurs when the collapsible part of the throat meets.
Coupled with the passage of air into the throat, these dangling
parts are likely to produce vibrations that create the noisy
sounds. Why this condition occurs at night is not a mystery.
While it is true that we breathe 24 hours a day, we only snore
when our body istotally relaxed. Thus, it is often advised that
snorers maintain a tensed sleeping position until the body gets
used to this state.
If you do not like the idea, however, you can prevent snoring
through practicinga sideward sleeping position to widen the passage
through which air may run through. This passage is congested when
we sleep on our backs since our heads are forced to fall back.
Additionally, our lower jaw is encouraged to open,
thereforecreating a space wherein the tongue can droop back. When
this occurs, the normal air passage will be obstructed by these
components.
We all know that when a passage narrows, the pressure that
regularly runs through it will increase. This principle occurs in
the throat which explains why there
are people who snore and there are those who don't, and why
snores come in different intensity and sounds.
Obesity is known to induce snoring. This is due to the fact that
heavier peopleare more likely to have extra (and often unnecessary
tissues). The neck of an overweight person is known to have more
muscles and adipose tissues that hamper the normal delivery of
breathing.
Thus, to prevent the possibility of producing nighttime
respiratory vibration, one is advised to refrain from gaining too
much weight. Not only would you escapefrom major health threats
such as general unhealthiness of the body or coronarydiseases, you
can also save yourself from distracting your bed partner's sleepand
your own.
Some people practice mouth breathing. Add to the fact that this
is generally nota healthy practice, mouth breathing can also raise
one's susceptibility towardssnoring. It may seem awkward to switch
back to nasal breathing initially though, but in time you would
learn to breathe naturally using your nose while sleeping. In the
end, you would be thankful that you took time and learned patience
ineliminating this habit.
If you would notice, most advises in preventing snoring concern
lifestyle-changing practices. This is because snoring, as a whole,
