How Sleep Apnea
Prevents You from Curing Itself
Sleep apnea
is becoming one of the most worrisome condition for health advocates. It’s been
linked too many diseases to list here and cripples the life of sufferers.
But
nobody was ready for what a new study published in the journal Sleep revealed.
Apparently,
one of the effects of sleep apnea is to prevent you from doing the one thing you need to do to
combat the disease.
Fortunately,
there is a way around this.
The
researchers wanted to find out whether the bodies of sleep apnea sufferers were
less capable of physical exercise than those of good sleepers were. To be more
precise, can their hearts and lungs handle the same amount of exercise as those
of good sleepers can?
They
surveyed already existing literature on the subject and identified 45 studies
with 5,379 subjects that met sufficiently strict scientific study criteria.
They
firstly discovered that people without sleep apnea could use 3.096 milliliters
per kilogram of body weight per minute more oxygen than those with sleep apnea.
If
your body can consume a lot of oxygen during exercise, you are healthy and
don’t strain your body beyond safe limits during exercise.
But
if you cannot get enough oxygen around your body while exercising, your ability
to exercise productively will be impaired, and you will have to strain
unacceptably hard to get your exercise done.
And
whereas healthy people’s oxygen consumption increases over time as they
workout, the same thing doesn’t happen for those suffering sleep apneas.
Moreover,
people without sleep apnea had a maximal heart rate 8.423 beats per minute
higher than those without sleep apnea, meaning that their cardiovascular
systems could handle a faster heart rate during exercise than those of sleep
apnea sufferers could.
This
is especially worrisome since sleep apnea is very often caused by being
overweight. And to lose weight, we need to exercise, which, according to this study, people
with sleep apnea have very difficult time with.
How Marijuana Affects
Insomnia
With
the big surge of medical Marijuana, researchers are testing this substance on
every condition under the sun.
And
why not insomnia?
After all Marijuana makes many people feel sleepy, relaxed and drowsy.
But
will it actually help you sleep or does it simply mess up your ability to get a good night’s sleep?
In
a recent edition of the Journal
of Addictive Diseases, researchers divided their 98 subjects into three
groups:
– daily marijuana users,
– non-daily marijuana users,
– and non-users.
38.8%
of daily users had insomnia,
compared to 10.3% of non-daily users, and 20% of non-users.
This
indicates that Marijuana is rather more harmful than helpful when it comes to
sleep.
But
when they took into account their subject’s levels of depression and anxiety, they could no longer find an association between
daily marijuana use and insomnia.
This
suggests that the negative mood that marijuana brings about in some people
plays a larger role in insomnia than the marijuana itself.
So,
if you’re being prescribed medical Marijuana for pain or whatever other reason,
pay attention to the mood effects it has on you.
If
your mood doesn’t change (or improves) keep on, but if you begin
experiencing depression or anxiety it’s
better to find other medicine.
This post is from The
Insomnia and Stop Snoring Program offers a revolutionary new approach to help
people stop snoring. Snoring is not only disruptive to our partners, but it
poses health risks as well, especially for those folks who suffer from sleep
apnea.
Christian Goodman,
the creator of the program, has discovered that a selection of specific
exercises can actually correct the issues that lead to excessive snoring, and
help snorers and their bed mates get a better night’s sleep.
The program will
allow you to shake your pesky and unhealthy snoring habit using only easy to
perform natural exercises. No drugs, surgery, funky contraptions to sleep with,
hypnosis or any other invasive techniques. If you can spend 7 minutes per day
performing these exercises you can say goodbye to snoring for good.
