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 new study indicates that those with the worst problems eat the most junk fat, 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 bed is especially important.

The new study points out that it is an over-consumption of calories in general, especially junk fat and to some extent protein, that 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 and low fat dinner, and finish dinner 4-5 hours before bed. The amount of protein at dinner may also be an individual variable, and may or may not need to be on the lower side as well (pay attention). Increasing exercise will help clear stagnant fat out of your circulation, as well as help weight loss.

Eating a good diet and increasing exercise will help even an overweight person not snore. And as weight is lost the results will be much more stable from night to night, eventually getting to a weight wherein the problem is much less likely.

I have found that nutrients such as oregano oil and/or monolaurin, natural immune support for mucosal membranes, can also help especially if there is a pre-existing stuffy situation.
