The Relationship Between Sleep Apnea and Your Weight

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 happen anywhere from five to 30 times an hour, and the decreased amount of oxygen in the blood can be life threatening.

Currently, only one in 25 adults are reported to have sleep apnea, because about 90% of all sleep apnea cases are not reported.

The reason for this is that the sufferer is not aware that these episodes of non-breathing are happening, so he does not know that he already has a medical condition.

Most likely, the sufferer's bed partner or roommate is the one who notices the symptoms.

While it is common knowledge that obesity causes sleep apnea (the additional fat around the neck pushes against the airways), the reverse is also true. Sleep apnea can cause obesity. The body gets into a "panic mode" when the amount of oxygen in the blood decreases, 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.

You may be suffering from sleep apnea if you have these symptoms - overweight, sore/dry throats and headaches in the morning, and feeling of tiredness during the day.

Most doctors will advise you to lose weight, claiming that even a 10% reduction in weight will curb sleep apnea and help you sleep better. It's helpful advice, but 10% of your body weight doesn't sound so easy to shed once you do the math.

That's where my Snoring Program comes in.

My Snoring Program does not involve rigorous exercise and weight loss, as attested by hundreds of my clients who have used my program. They have maintained that it has cured their sleep apnea and made them sleep better at night.

By following the easy steps incorporated in my Snoring Program, the body will not go into "panic mode" during sleep. This in turn will increase the energy that you will get from sleep, thus making it easier 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, they can also use my new Weight Loss Program to solve the underlying causes of this condition, as well as other problems caused by being overweight.

My Weight Loss Program involves exercises that are not even workout exercises. No one has probably ever heard of these exercises before.
