Sleep Apnea: The silent killer
Ok that heading is a bit dramatic, but it might be more true than you think. Sleep apnea is a cause of many health issues from high blood pressure and stroke to heart disease. Because of this it is imperative that chronic sleep apnea be addressed.
Some ways to help reduce the effect can be quite simple. Here are a few examples:
Sleeping on your side - I remember reading somewhere that you can sew a pocket unto the back of a shirt, put a tennis ball in it then sew the pocket shut. This will deter you from lying on your back. It's weird, i'll give you that, but it's also effective. You prevent the tongue and soft pallet from falling back into the throat.
Avoid dairy - This helps because milk products can cause your body to secrete excess mucus which can further obstruct the air passage and cause more problem during sleep. Try soy products for a while and see what happens.
Drink a tall glass of water (with a little lime juice) right before bed. This can help to shrink your tonsils and tighten up the airway. Don't put too much lime juice the water it should be refreshing not sour.
I hope you find these suggestions helpful too. Go ahead and try them and tell a friend who you think could benefit from this also.
