A use has been found for everything but snoring - Mark Twain. Snoring is truly an useless aspect of sleep especially when it is caused by someone else. A survey shows 45% of US adults occasionally snore while 25% are habitual snorers. Overweight males are the more common suspects.
Snoring Occurs when the channel through which air passes at the back end of the nose opens at the point where mouth ends and throat begins. This is also the place where tongue and upper throat meet the soft palate and uvula and is sort of collapsible in nature. While sleeping they may come in contact of each other and they may obstruct the air flow. Then the passing air forces them to vibrate them against each other. This vibration in turn gives rise to the noise we call snoring. This can be because of Obstructed Nasal airway, large tonsils and adenoids, any deformities in the nose and nasal septum, throat tissues being excessively bulky, obesity also a reason.
Reduction and eradication of Snoring is possible by avoiding excessive alcohol, caffeine, smoking, over eating and under exercising, Homeopathy and natural remedies available in health food stores. Correction of posture while sleeping. Spraying lubricating oil which covers the throat tissues facilitates air flow and thus reduce snoring. Nasal spray which reduce the swelling of nasal tissues and the nasal congestion. CPAP machinery uses a mask to blow air through the nose preventing disruption of breathing and thus eliminates snoring. If everything else fails there is always surgeries like uvulopalatoplasty helps in reducing snoring. Taking supplements of vitamins and minerals to maintain proper nutrient balance in the body also helps in the long run. Supplements should always be taken as per requirement for their proper utilization and avoiding any adverse effect as per the direction of a physician.
