There's a cure and it's being kept quiet...
Every night, in homes across the country, bedrooms
reverberate with the trumpeting, whistling, whining and grunting of the
nation’s snorers.
It’s a deafening cacophony that blights an estimated 60
percent of the population — and their long-suffering partners — and fuels a
lucrative and ever-growing trade in snore-busting gadgets and remedies.
But as anyone who’s tried the throat sprays, nasal dilators,
jaw slings, magic pillows or mouth splints that claim to ease snoring will
know, snoring is infuriatingly difficult to fix.
It is just one more insulting consequence of the aging
process, and therefore extremely common. But despite that, few people
appreciate quite how debilitating it can be to your health and your
relationships.
The snorer might sound as if they are blissfully sleeping,
but their body will be struggling to get air in and out through slack and
floppy airways and this extra effort will ultimately compromise the quality of
the deeply restorative phases of sleep.
This is the time when the vitally important mental and
physical repair process is supposed to happen, and the heart should be able to
slow and rest.
Although snoring is more likely to occur if you are
overweight, it can also trap you in a vicious cycle whereby the snoring itself
triggers weight gain. Studies show poor sleep typically stimulates the appetite
for sweet and fatty foods as your body fights to cope with fatigue.
As long-term snoring causes protracted sleep deprivation,
which in turn means your snoring worsens, the weight piles on. This then
increases your risk of obesity-related disorders such as diabetes, heart
disease, even some cancers.
Snoring is a potent trigger for bitterness, ridicule, and
resentment in relationships and studies show that for around 6 percent of couples,
bad snoring can be enough to trigger marriage breakdown.
Inveterate snorers, and therefore their bed partners, rarely
get close to achieving even the lower recommended target of six hours of
restful sleep each night. Studies show the partner of a snorer loses 90 minutes
of sleep most nights and so gradually builds a sleep debt that can never be
replenished.
Studies show men and women who are deprived of sleep report
lower libidos and less interest in sex due to depleted energy, sleepiness and
increased tension. Men are often alarmed to learn that snoring can have a
direct effect on their ability to maintain an erection, too.
Over time, the elevated blood pressure caused by regular
snoring will damage the blood vessels, making them thicker and restricting
blood flow — a problem which very often affects the tiny capillaries of the sex
organs first.
If your snoring is a source of stress between you, this can
make ‘performance anxiety’ worse, and concern about ‘underperformance’ can be
the kiss of death for a sexual relationship.
And here come the vultures..
When so many people are looking for a “magic pill” rest
assured companies will try to capitalize. Anti-snoring devices range from nasal
strips, mouthpieces, neck braces, positional devices, chin straps, nasal
dilators, throat sprays and more. Here
The problem is that none of these so-called solutions tackle
the root of what’s causing the snoring. Worst of all, the companies producing
these products don’t really want you to stop snoring… Why? Because when you
stop snoring, they stop making money.
Let’s have a look at what they Mayo Clinic says about some
of the so-called “snoring solutions” that the industry is selling:
Mouthpieces:
- 1. May take weeks to adjust to
- 2. May cause temporary jaw pain
- 3. Intrusive
- 4. DO NOT CURE THE ROOT CAUSE OF SNORING
Positional Devices:
- 1. Can detach at night if not attached well or worn too low on the torso
- 2. Can be a long adjustment period (2 weeks+) if user normally sleeps on their back intrusive
- 3. DO NOT CURE THE ROOT CAUSE OF SNORING
Anti snore pillows:
- 1. Are typically designed for single-position sleepers
- 2. It can be difficult to get used to the firmness
- 3. The structure causes neck pain in some
- 4. Foam flattens over time, so they need to be replaced frequently
- 5. Some are too lightweight, causing it to slip from under the head during the night
- 6. DO NOT CURE THE ROOT CAUSE OF SNORING
Chin Straps:
- 1. Doesn’t it around all head sizes
- 2. Straps can cut into the ears
- 3. Many reports that it puts an uncomfortable amount of pressure on head
- 4. Need very clear sinuses, since jaw is closed shut
- 5. Depending on the brand, some fabrics used can cause constant itchiness Intrusive
- 6. DO NOT CURE THE ROOT CAUSE OF SNORING
Nasal Dilators:
- 1. Won’t be effective for majority of snorers
- 2. They can pop out of your nose in the night
- 3. Many users report pain & discomfort in the nostrils intrusive
- 4. DO NOT CURE THE ROOT CAUSE OF SNORING
Nasal Strips:
- 1. Shown ineffective in 40-patient study
- 2. Adhesive can be hard to clean off & can irritate the skin
- 3. Can leave red blemishes behind
- 4. Some contain latex, which can affect those with allergies & produce a nasty odor
- 5. Single usage only
- 6. DO NOT CURE THE ROOT CAUSE OF SNORING
Most people who try the above solutions have quickly
realized that those are not viable solutions for them. Not only are their
benefits highly questionable, but they are extremely intrusive and unpleasant
to use. Who wants to go to bed wearing a mouthpiece or chin strap?
With the sheer desperation, many people experience when it
comes to snoring It’s not surprising that so many snorers search for “magic
pill” solutions on the chemist’s shelves. But new research shows they may well
be wasting their time — and money.
Here’s what the multi-billion dollar anti-snoring industry
doesn’t want you to know… There’s a remedy that’s simple, unintrusive and stops
snoring for good!
In the vast majority of cases the problem can be cured — or
massively reduced without any external device.
Snoring is caused by vibration of soft tissue and muscles
that constitute the upper airways. In non-snorers, the tissues and muscles are
firm and hence do not vibrate when breathing. Whereas in snorers the soft
tissues and muscles are floppy, this causes them to vibrate when breathing
resulting in the snoring sound.
Studies have shown that if you exercise those slackened
throat, tongue, jaw and mouth muscles, just as you would your quads or biceps
in the gym, you can build back their strength and tone, and return the
structures to their former youthful condition.
Stopping to snore is within your grasp — and it’s as simple
as committing to a few minutes of throat exercises every day.
For some years specialists in the U.S. have been studying
the effectiveness of exercises in tightening and toning the throat muscles, and
research shows near-miraculous results.
Daily targeted exercises can reduce snoring volume by 60
percent and frequency by 39 percent. That’s a far, far better result than you’d
get from anything you might be able to pick up at the chemist.
Many people will notice improvements even after the first
night, but you’ll need to stick with it. It might take three months of daily
practice to achieve top tone (and minimal snoring), but once there, dipping
into the exercises every so often is usually enough to stop the throat from
falling back into its former slack state.
Researchers have revealed a unique set of exercises they say
can dramatically reduce snoring in patients. They involve moving your tongue,
jaw and exercising your mouth.Experts say it can dramatically cut the amount,
and power, of snoring.
“We tested the effectiveness of oropharyngeal exercises to
reduce snoring,” said Brazilian Geraldo Lorenzi-Filho, MD, Ph.D., study author,
“the exercises significantly reduced snoring in our study group.”
US doctors have backed the research
“This study demonstrates a promising, noninvasive treatment
for large populations suffering from snoring, the snorers and their bed
partners, that are largely omitted from research and treatment,” said Barbara
Phillips, Medical Director of the Sleep Laboratory at the University of
Kentucky College of Medicine. “Frankly, this will change the advice that I give
to my patients who snore. And that’s a lot of people.”
As you now know and probably already knew, the various
so-called solutions that are currently out there for snoring simply do not work
and are extremely intrusive and unpleasant. They do not get to the root cause
of snoring and attempt to cover it up with cumbersome contraptions.
In order to cure your snoring for good, you must address the
root cause which is done by exercising your throat, tongue, jaw and mouth.
