Can Anti-Snore Exercises Really Stop Snoring?

By Christian Goodman

Is you snoring threatening your life? Well, over 23% of couples suffer from this serious situation. If you aren't being kept awake by your partners snoring, you are repeatedly being jabbed awake by them trying to stop you from snoring. In fact, not getting enough sleep is truly life threatening

Losing your focus in heavy traffic during the day can be life threatening. If you are distracted for only a few seconds, you could easily wind up in a terrific accident. Another way loss of sleep can affect you is when your emotional and physical well being are out of balance. The result could be heart attack, nervous breakdown or stroke for example.

Neither you nor your partner are to blame. And surely you have attempted some sort of treatment to eliminate the snoring altogether. Hopefully you haven't done like some who have had expensive, dangerous surgery in an attempt to solve the problem only to be worse off afterward.

To be able to cure your snoring, you must know what causes it. Snoring is always caused by some kind of blockage in the breathing passages. When the breathing passage is blocked, the airflow (breathing) becomes irregular, not smoothly flowing like it should be. This irregular airflow slams the soft tissues in your breathing passages around like a door in a wind. Your throat and mouth become like speakers powered by powerful amplifier and your partner cant sleep.

The noise becomes really bad when the soft palate (a flexible part of the back of the roof of the mouth) also begins to vibrate. Sometimes, if the soft palate is weak, then the tip of it will bang down on the tongue (which may be dropping into the throat at the same time) like a bongo drum.

Curing snoring can be very difficult regardless of the fact that there is only one cause. This is because the blockages vary so widely and to top it all off, many people have more than one type of block causing their snoring.

Here are just few examples of what can cause your snoring:

1) Weak tongue also falls into the throat and blocks it. This is very common if you sleep on your back but can also happen when sleeping on your side.

2) Pressure on the air passageways caused by tense jaw muscles. Dentists try to alleviate this with dental implants. It is much easier to loosen up and relax the jaw muscles to avoid this cause.

3) As has already been mentioned, the soft palate is another source of blockage. When weak, it will flap around and make the snoring sound more easily. In most cases, the soft palate is not too big, it is too weak.

4) Additionally the soft palate may be too weak and will lay too close to the tongue. This makes it very easy for it to flap around and make those horrendous snoring sounds.

5) Finally, anything that builds up in your throat will work as a dam for your breathing passages. The most common dams are fat or cigarette tars in the throat or allergy in the sinuses.

Now you ask how you can get rid of these blocks to relieve your snoring?

I guess when you look at it, its just a common sense. Ive found that you can train this part of your body like any other part. Working out the breathing passages. Using a few exercises, each focused on one area in and around your throat, will remove ANY block you have. No matter whats causing your snoring. The simplicity of this is that no matter what blocks your breathing passages the same few exercises will cure you.

Training the tongue will strengthen it and by doing that prevent it from dropping into your throat when you sleep.

Loosening up the jaw, using the jaw exercises will remove any tension from it. Youll be surprised how much easier youll breath after you do the jaw exercises.

There are throat exercises which will open up the throat preventing it from closing while you are sleeping. These exercises also lift and strengthen your soft palate preventing it from flapping.

Its about working smart not hard. You make the choice how many minutes a day you want to train. The minimal time is only three minutes. How long you exercise every day is up to you. You can train for as little as three minutes a day. For quick permanent results, I recommend taking the program that requires ten minutes a day commitment.

It varies a lot between people how quickly the exercises work. It is recommended that you be ready to work the program for two months. The program will most likely stop your snoring quicker than that. But if youre ready to give it full blast for two months, youre guaranteed to cure your self. And you should be ready to commit for about two months to permanently cure your snoring. Although most likely you will have quiet nights long before those two months are up.

I hope Ill soon receive your success story. I love nothing more than opening my email in the morning and reading the stories on how my clients healed themselves using my exercises.

Since snoring is putting such a strain on peoples relationships, many are forced to sleep apart. Some have learned how to live with it but there may be underlying resentment. I suggest you try my program and give me the benefit of the doubt by making a serious commitment to throat training for a few weeks. I assure you, you and your partner will be sleeping like babies before long.
