The latest research to arise out of the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health has determined that heavy snoring could be a sign of untreated “sleep disordered breathing” (SDB). If you suffer from this, you’re five times more likely to develop cancer than people who sleep soundly. SDB is a term that incorporates a group of disorders characterised by abnormalities of respiratory pattern (in other words, “pauses in breathing”).
If somebody told you that singing helps to get rid of snoring issues, you may think that the person is kidding you. But the fact is, singing exercises the throat muscles, and is truly a natural way to reduce snoring.
However, snoring causes may vary from person to person, and singing or other natural therapies may not work out to eliminate all sorts of snoring issues. Snoring is caused by obstructions in air movement during sleep.
The throat muscles relax while we sleep, and the disturbed airflow vibrates the soft pal ates in the upper airway, resulting in the harsh buzzing sound. Unwanted fat accumulation in the throat area, or a weak throat that collapses on the airway, are the common snoring causes. However, there are many other snoring causes, which include clogging of nasal passage by secretion of mucous, improper positioning of the jaw, allergies, and smoking and drinking habits.
