If you are a snorer, you are not alone. Depending on any special medical research, as many as 44 percent of men and 28 percent of women are snorers. As you get older your snoring is likely to grow, because the prevalence of snoring increases with age. Studies indicate that 20 percent of normal children snore occasionally and up to 10 percent of children snore every night. Enough statistics. Lots of us do it, across all age ranges, but why do people snore?
Snoring is the sound produced by the vibration of the uvula, pharyngeal walls or the soft palate. While sleeping, muscles throughout your body relax. The loosening of the muscles of the upper airway decreases the size of the airway and cause airflow constriction and turbulence. As the result of turbulence your soft tissues start to vibrate and you start snoring.
But not every people are snorers, so one reasonable question may emerge: why does it happen that some people snore while others do not? Statistics show that most of the people who snore are overweight. Excess weight in the neck area will contribute to the constriction of the normal airway, causing vibration of the soft palate and uvula. If you snore and are overweight as well, losing weight will probably solve all your snoring problems. You will snore much less by just losing a few pounds. If you snore less you'll sleep better and be more energized all day.
Snoring but not overweight? Maybe you have a chronic nasal condition. Snoring can be caused by sinusitis. You also may have nasal polyps or a deviated septum, which can also cause snoring. It's possible to treat sinusitis with some snoring remedies , but the more serious conditions should be treated by a qualified medical professional.
An important thing to remember is that snoring is not an illness, it's a symptom. It could be a symptom of sleep apnea. The normal airway may become totally blocked, making a person unable to breathe. Breathing is restored when the person briefly wakes. This leads to a fitful night's sleep and the person is chronically tired. If you snore, it's important to select the one of snoring remedies that will fit your needs best, not just for the sake of a good night's sleep, but for the sake of your health.
