Snoring and Sleep apnea are two of the most prevalent problems people face at night. Both are disruptive to both the snorer and their partners, and more importantly they can lead to serious health issues such lack of proper sleep and even heart attacks.
Simply, snoring is a sound created from turbulent airflow. It is noisy
breathing during sleep caused by the exchange of a large volume of air
through a narrowed space, which in turn causes the tissues of the nose
and throat to vibrate.
Sleep apnea, is caused by either a blockage in the throat or from breathing heavily during sleep. |

12 Natural Tips to Breathing Well this winter.
Breathing well is vital for good health in the winter. It is, in my opinion, more important than washing your hands to prevent picking up germs.
Follow these tips and you will breathe easier, prevent asthma attacks and resistant catching the flus or common colds that circulate this time of year.
- Nasal Breathe Only! The nose is the instrument for breathing not the mouth. Mouth breathing is the best way to swallow up germs.
- Breathe from your diaphragm. Most people breathe from their upper chest only, limiting the amount of oxygen they receive.
