If you sound like a bear growling in a cave when you asleep, then you will know that snoring has a big impact on life. Regardless of the health issues (which are significant), snoring can play havoc with your relationship.

If you are at your wits end with being woken up every hour either to the sound of your own snoring, or being dug in the back and told to “Roll Over”; or if you are the long suffering sufferer of a snorer, then read over these five tips to snoring treatment.

SNORING TREATMENT TIP ONE:

Take a look at your diet. Although this probably won’t be the complete snoring treatment answer, it’s worth starting with what you’re eating & drinking. You could well have intolerance to certain foods, which affects your breathing, especially when lying on you back. For example, too much (or an intolerance to) dairy produce is likely to cause you to become blocked up with mucus (when horizontal) this collects causing heavy breathing & snoring. Alcohol is another common offender.

SNORING TREATMENT TIP TWO:

Being overweight is another significant contributor. Excess weight in the neck & chest puts pressure on the breathing passage.

SNORING TREATMENT TIP THREE:

Sleep on your side or front. Now this is easier said than done, because it’s hard to control your sleeping position, when you’re asleep! However, there is an old trick that may be worth considering. You could sew a walnut, table tennis ball or similar size object into the back of a shirt and wear that in bed. Each time you roll on your back it will dig into you—causing you to roll back again—providing you don’t take your shirt of in your sleep.

SNORING TREATMENT TIP FOUR:

Use nasal strips. We’ve found these to be very helpful, at least to start with. Nasal strips (often used by athletes) open the air passage for you, thus removing or preventing blockages. If you’re desperate it’s worth a try, but the cost can add up over the days, months and years.

SNORING TREATMENT TIP FIVE:

We’ve saved the best until last. Exercising the muscles in your throat, tongue and doing breathing exercises can completely cure your snoring. For more detailed information and more tips go to http://www.prevention.com/health/mouth-exercises-stop-snoring.
