Snoring And Other Factors
Snoring and other factors
Women are less likely to snore than men are. However, this may not be the case for those women who have experienced the
menopause. A woman's muscle tone often diminishes as they become older and put on weight Research has found that by the age of
70 years, women snore as much as men of that age because of these problems.
Being only slightly overweight by just a few kilograms tends to make a person snore. This is because the fatty tissue around the neck
can squeeze the airway and prevent the air from flowing in and out freely. Weight loss and reducing the fat content in the body can help
alleviate snoring although this can not be done by diet just on its own. It’s a good idea for a snorer to commence a sensible exercise
programme as well.
Another common reason for people snoring is alcohol. Alcohol travels to all areas of the body and tends to slow down the responses of
the brain causing the muscles to relax.
Since alcohol also acts as a depressant, the added relaxation of the muscles cause the oropharynx to collapse, this then causes more
snoring. Alcohol can also cause obstructive sleep apnea where a person stops breathing for short periods of time during their sleep. The
person's night’s sleep is interrupted by not breathing for short periods of time. If you suffer from this condition, it will worsen if you do not
make important healthy changes to your lifesyle.
Alcohol can also cause irritation and congestion in the nasel airways which increase the resistance when breathing. Since alcohol has
a high calorie content, heavy drinkers are often overweight, this also contributes to their snoring problem.
Those people who are unable to stop drinking should try and limit its effects by having their last alcholic drink at least four hours before
going to be. This will provide the body with sufficient time to reduce the alcohol’s effects and help promote Snoring and other factors
