The Relationship Between Sleep Apnea and Your Weight Posted By : Christian Goodman

Christian Goodman

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 occur anywhere from 5 to 30 times in an hour, and the reduced amount of oxygen in the blood can be life threatening.

Sleep apnea affects one in about every 25 adults, but 90% of all sleep apnea cases aren't 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.

It's often the sufferer's bed partner or roommate who initially notices the symptoms.

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.

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 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 sticking to the easy steps listed in my Snoring Program, the body won't go into the aforementioned "panic mode" during sleep, and the increased energy you'll get from sleep will make it easier 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 to help you finally cure your sleep apnea and have a better life.
