Snoring is a common problem that interferes with the health of the person who snores and the person who is disturbed by their partner snoring. A study indicates that those with the worst problems eat the most junk fat1, whether they are overweight or not.
It has been known for some time that body weight is directly related to breathing problems during sleep. Weight loss always helps, as does an increase in exercise and reduction of alcohol. Not eating close to bedtime is especially important.
The study points out that an over-consumption of calories in general, especially junk fat and to some extent protein, is a primary driving force of the inflammation that locks in night-related breathing difficulties.
This means that individuals who snore should eat a high fiber, low fat dinner, and finish dinner four to five hours before bedtime. The amount of protein eaten at dinner may also be an individual variable, and may or may not need to be on the lower side as well, so it’s important to pay attention to protein intake. Increasing exercise will help clear stagnant fat out of your circulation, as well as help with weight loss.
Eating a healthy diet and increasing exercise will even help an overweight person not snore. As weight is lost, results will be much more stable from night to night, eventually getting to a weight where the problem is much less likely.
Nutrients such as oregano oil and quercetin, which offer natural immune support for mucosal membranes, can also help, especially if a pre-existing stuffy situation exists.
