A recent study has found some foods that significantly reduce snoring at night. According to researchers, not everything depends on the way you sleep, but the foods you eat at bedtime also have a big impact. Some food-related methods may be the ideal solution, if you snore at night.
However, in addition to changing foods, experts point out that there are quite effective practices and methods that can help you to reduce snoring.
Here are some of them:
Honey is a product that has been used in medicine for 500 years. Even Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, discovered that honey fights mucous membranes and mouth ulcers, thus helping to reduce snoring. Honey has anti-inflammatory properties and in this way it affects the release of respiration. Therefore for a comfortable sleep and without snoring, it is good to consume a cup of warm milk and a spoonful of honey before going to bed, or even a teaspoon of honey.
Olive oil or rather, not saturated oils like butter, fat or margarine. Such oils contribute to the return of acidity in the throat. This is why you get heartburn at night when you eat minced beef at lunch. Olive oil is well known for its anti-inflammatory properties acting on arteries. In clinical studies it is somewhat surprising that people suffering from heartburn report a decrease in this discomfort when using olive oil. The effects of olive oil are also evident in sore throats. Therefore if you have problems with snoring, as much olive oil as possible is advisable.
Water. Lack of water in the body is a factor that affects snoring. When the body is dehydrated, the cell will cling making it possible to make that horrible noise during sleep. So you should keep in mind to always drink water, not only during the day, but also before going to bed.
Spices help clear excess mucus in the nose. Black and red pepper, ginger, can be used in meals during dinner, but in light foods without many calories. We need to know another fact, that snoring at night can greatly damage the nervous system of the person you are close to, so it is imperative for people who snore to follow these tips.
Fish. The lack of red meat is quite pronounced, although there is controversy here about the impact between meat and snoring. Red meat, in fact, is inflammatory. Fatty meat causes small spasms in the arteries. However, the cause-and-effect relationship between arterial inflammation and the specific inflammation in the nose that also causes snoring is still debatable. Therefore, the study is not very clear. However, according to researchers, it is better to reduce red meat and use fish instead.
Soy milk. It is not known by everyone that cow's milk promotes snoring. This is because the special proteins that this milk has can cause severe allergic reactions, which reduce breathing and promote snoring. Cow's milk also promotes the formation of mucus in the mouth. Drinking cow’s milk at dinner is wrong for anyone who snores at night. Soy milk is a good alternative to eliminate all these problems.
Tea. The connection between tea and snoring is a very strong connection. Hot tea generally promotes snoring, but some blends such as chamomile tea, lemon with honey, black tea, green tea or white tea reduce snoring. The most recommended is mint tea, which can be drunk before bedtime because it facilitates breathing and eliminates excess mucus in the airways. Its characteristic aroma helps to make a comfortable and restful sleep.
