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.

The Relationship Between Sleep Apnea and Your Weight Posted By : Christian Goodman
To Get A Headache In A Million Ways - And Ways to Heal Them All Posted By : Christian Goodman
There are a million ways to get a headache these days. You could get one when you hit your head on something, or when you miss your caffeine fix, or when you eat ice cream too fast. You could also get a headache when you're overly stressed, when you're fatigued, or when you're sick - the list goes on and on.
In the United States alone, about one in every six people suffer from Chronic headaches and migraines. They suffer infrequently, but regularly. When this happens, it's hard for the rest of the body to do any kind of work when the head is suffering from great pain. Studies have shown that about $50 Billion is lost every year due to workers not being able to work because of chronic headaches.
Where does all that money go? Into the medical industry, I imagine.
Headache and migraine medicines, treatments, and therapies are making doctors and pharmaceutical companies rich these days. The problem is although these treatments and medicines are effective, they are only effective temporarily. You will experience the headaches and migraines again because the underlying cause is not being addressed.
And the real cause is oxygen deprivation. The doctors will not tell you that though.
Our body is composed of cells, and every single cell needs oxygen to function properly. Lack of oxygen in the cells in the head will make the veins inflamed and brush against the nerves of the brain, and this is what causes chronic headaches and migraines.
It doesn't help things that so many of us breathe too shallowly and practice bad body postures day after day. All these little things contribute to the lack of oxygen that causes chronic headaches and migraines.
If only the medical industry admitted and addressed this underlying cause, the American Economy will not be losing so much money and manpower.
And as usual, it's Christian Goodman to the rescue
My Migraine and Headache Relief Program directly addresses the real cause of the problem. The simple exercises and practices in my program will show you how to increase the amount of oxygen in your body and restore the body's natural balance.
Not only would you enjoy lasting freedom from your headaches and migraines, but you'll find yourself in much better shape than ever before. You'll be surprised at how much you were missing out of life.
Wouldn't you like to see just how much?
Warm Regards,
Christian Goodman

Migraine : What Is a Migraine AttackBy: Ray Lam
Unlike normal headaches that many of us suffer with, a migraine is often a hereditary complaint that starts when someone is still in childhood. Most suffers will go to bed as the headache (usually on one side) takes hold and which could last a matter of a few hours but if left without attention, could last for days. Almost all sufferers will complain of exhaustion and a feeling of weakness that takes some time to pass.
Some people are more fortunate than others and may only have a couple of attacks per year whilst others have one or more every month. Often other symptoms similar to those of flu may afflict the patient; for instance, light sensitivity and chills, along with a feeling of lightheadedness as well. Migraine attacks only seem to affect people within a certain age range, just before puberty and stop by the time the person has reached about 40; however, by the time someone reaches fifty, attacks almost never occur.
It is quite common for members of the same family group to suffer with migraine attacks; even though there may be a link, so far it has eluded medical science. There is a condition that causes an inflammation of blood vessels in the brain and it is possible that people who suffer have sensitivity in this area. Another area that still isn't fully understood is why these headaches are more prevalent in women with approximately three times as many women suffering than men; only one in twelve men will experience an attack in their lives.
Some sufferers have a strange feeling anything up to 30 minutes before an attack; called a migraine with aura and may say they feel they have an attack coming. The warning signs may include:
*Nausea is very common *Vision is affected *Strange sounds or smell *Lack of sensation in sufferers extremities
whilst there are many more symptoms, the list above contains those which are most prevalent. Some of these indications are symptoms felt by those who have the most common variant of the condition, migraines without aura; many early indications felt by those who have a warning are symptoms felt by those who have no warning but their condition can be made worse if they are in constant motion.
It is believed that conditions that cause the blood vessels in the brain to contract could be an explanation for migraine but this still hasn't been proved so the search for cause continues. It might be that it is the expansion of the blood vessels afterwards that causes the headache; most victims become unable to do anything for some time after the attack. There are many possible triggers for an attack some of which are shown below:
*Weather *Certain types of food *Being at great height *Drinks *Very bright internal lighting *Not enough food *Anxiety
It is therefore a good idea for the victim to see if there is a pattern to the attacks which could then make it easier to avoid them.
