How to Stop Snoring

1.       Maintain a healthy weight and Diet

Healthy weight is very important in reducing snoring. It’s being said that those who are overweight with a little Kilogram snores because Fatty tissue around your neck squeezes the airway and prevents air from flowing in and out freely.

2.       Try to sleep on your Side: Try to sleep on your side rather than your back. While sleeping on your back, your tongue, chin and any excess fatty tissue under your chin can relax and squash your airway. Sleeping on your side prevents this.

3.       Exercise can also help to stop snoring. Working out to tone your arms, legs, and abs, for example, also leads to toning the muscles in your throat, which in turn can lead to less snoring.

4.       Avoid alcohol, sleeping pills, and sedatives, especially before bedtime. Alcohol causes the muscles to relax more than usual during a normal night's sleep. This added relaxation of the muscles makes the back of the throat collapse more readily, which then causes snoring.

5.       Quit or Cut down smoking: If you are the type that smokes, your chances of snoring are high. Cigarette smoke irritates the lining of the nasal cavity and throat, causing swelling and catarrh.

6.       Keep your nasal passage clear: Keep your nasal passages clear, so that you breathe in through your nose rather than your mouth.

7.       Avoid caffeine and heavy meals within two hours of going to bed, especially dairy products and soymilk.
