Tips For Healthy Living

Well, I just had to tell you about this one.

It seems that learning to play the digeridoo (an Australian Aboriginal wind instrument) can help you snore less.  In a study published in the British Journal of Medicine, a Swiss team studied 25 individuals with moderate sleep apnea with snoring. 

 The participants were divided into the treatment and control group.  The treatment group took lesson in playing the digeridoo.  This requires using and strengthening particular throat muscles.  The control group took no treatment.

The study reports a signifigant decrease in sleepiness during the day and apnea score and they received comments from partners that there was less sleep disturbance for the treatment group.

So, what does this mean for you?

Well, you could go out and buy a digeridoo and then find someone to teach you how to play it correctly.  I don’t know about you, but we don’t have many (any?) digeridoo players here. 

OR

You could try another program that works in a similar way.  When you learn to sing properly, you use and strengthen your throat muscles.  Singer have excercises that they do for their throats.  It is the same principle as the digeridoo lessons.

What have you got to lose? Give this snoring solution… you even get one free exercise to try!
