The Relationship Between Sleep Apnea and Your Weight

Sleep Apnea is a medical condition characterized by interrupted breathing pat terns during sleep. A sufferer of sleep apnea, who most likely snores very loudly, may stop breathing for 10-20 seconds while asleep, 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.
Most sufferers do not wake up during these episodes of non-breathing, and are not aware of the medical condition, hence it is not being reported.
Often, it is the sufferer’s bed partner or roommate who initially notices the signs.
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 is a cruel cycle, and it will not end unless it is cured.
If you’re overweight, suffer from sore/dry throats and headaches in the morning, and generally feel tired during the day, then there’s a good chance that you suffer from sleep apnea.
Losing weight may be good advice, since most doctors claim that even a 10% reduction in weight will help cure sleep apnea. But 10% weight reduction is not that easy.
That is why I came up with my Snoring Program.
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 religiously doing the steps in my Snoring Program, you will condition your body to avoid going into “panic mode” during sleep, and the increased energy that you will get from sleep will in turn make it easy for you to maintain a healthy body weight. Two birds with one stone.
But wouldn’t it be even better to hit three birds with one stone?
For sleep apnea sufferers, my new Weight Loss Program will tackle the underlying causes of sleep apnea – as well as a host of other problems caused by all that extra cargo.
The exercises in my new Weight Loss Program aren’t even workout exercises – in fact, you’ve probably never heard of exercises like these before.
See my Snoring Program and weight loss rogram to know how I can help you cure your sleep apnea and have a healthier life.
