Certain foods will help calm your body and relax it so that you can get a better night’s sleep. Below is a list detailing the foods that help sleep apnea.OSA is a sleep disorder that is identified as a series of pauses in breathing that occurs several times during the night. It happens when the soft tissue of the upper airway falls inwards during sleep. When these muscles relax, the tissue constricts the airway and results in loud, noisy throat or tongue snoring. When the throat constricts too much, it will block the airway which cuts off your oxygen supply and causes you to stop breathing.
If you have woken from a sound sleep with a jolt and gasped for air, you may have sleep apnea. Your brain will identify that you are not breathing and will wake you to get more air into your lungs. Some people with sleep apnea, don’t wake completely. However, sleep apnea will break the cycle of REM sleep and this will result in you feeling tired during the day.
The danger here is that if you do not get a good night’s sleep, your attention span and level of alertness in severely impacted. If you are required to drive during the day, operate heavy equipment, or have a job that entails a lot of detailed work, poor sleep will lower your productivity. It may even make you a danger to others. OSA can also lead to many other health issues including weight gain, high blood pressure, liver issues, Type 2 diabetes, sleep-deprived partners who are kept awake by your snoring, and metabolic syndrome.
