Is reducing salt intake the solution to snoring?
Related Stories Carrs Denture & Implant Solutions People with sleep apnea can stop breathing several times a night, sometimes up to 30 times or more per hour. Breathing can stop for up to a minute before normal breathing starts again. The transition from not breathing to breathing again can result in a snorting or choking sound and often brings the person from a deep sleep to a lighter sleep. This can lead to feeling exhausted the next day, even if on the surface it appears that a full night’s sleep occurred. Not getting enough deep sleep can cause impairments with your memory, poor work performance and a decreased sex drive. Sleep apnea can also lead to more serious conditions, including high blood pressure, irregular heart beat or heart failure, obesity, and diabetes. There are several ways to treat sleep apnea, depending on its severity. Those with severe sleep apnea may benefit from wearing a mask attached to a machine that helps regulate their breathing. With milder sleep apnea and snoring, often an anti-snoring device can be effective in helping you get a better night’s sleep.

Researchers suggests that excessive salt intake leads to obstructive sleep apnoea Getty Images Research is underway in Brazil to discover whether switching to a low-salt diet could help prevent snoring. The trial, which started last month, is testing the theory that excessive salt intake causes sleep apnoea, of which snoring is a symptom. Sleep apnoea, or OSA, is a condition where the throat closes repeatedly during the night, blocking air flow to the lungs, thus preventing the person from breathing properly. Around one in 20 people suffer from the condition in the UK, the Mail Online reports. Researchers at the Hospital de Clinicas de Porto Alegre, Brazil, believe that the patient’s salt levels might be a factor, as excessive salt intake leads to a build up of body fluid which shifts to the neck during sleep and narrows the upper airways.

Snoring in kids could mean other problems, doctors say
So the statement that breastfeeding longer seems to protect kids from persistent snoring does not hold water. In fact, he has been the sickest of our 3 boys by far. We have a 7yr old, and the one I am referring to is almost 5, the other one is 3. The older and younger boys have been hospitalized once each. Our middle son (the breastfeeder) has been hospitalized 11 times. Also, our other 2 both nursed less than 3 months, and they were on formula at 4 months old by their choice, not ours.
