舌头后缩打鼾如何治疗 睡觉打鼾说明你舌头太胖了

睡觉打鼾说明你舌头太胖了  

It's long been known that losing weight helps reduce snoring and Sleep apnea. Now an MRI study from the University of Pennsylvania has found that the culprit is not neck or chin fat
but tongue fat. Yes
the problem is fat tongues.
"Most clinicians
and even experts in the sleep apnea world
have not typically focused on fat in the tongue for treating sleep apnea
" says coauthor Richard Schwab
co-medical director of Penn Sleep Center. "Now that we know tongue fat is a risk factor and that sleep apnea improves when tongue fat is reduced
we have established a unique therapeutic target that we've never had before."
He means tongue diets.
他指的就是舌头节食。
Schwab found a strong correlation beeen lowing tongue fat volume and lessening sleep apnea: "Future studies could be designed to explore whether certain low-fat diets are better than others in reducing tongue fat
and whether cold therapies
like those used to reduce stomach fat
might be applied to reducing tongue fat." He is also looking into whether some snorers who are not obese might just have fat tongues.
Sleep apnea is a big deal: 22 million Americans stop and start breathing while sleeping
often causing high blood pressure
constant wake-ups
and the utter consternation of bedmates who
years later
still read studies about snoring prevention (no personal experience here whatsoever). The researchers note that snoring can occasionally also be caused by large tonsils or a recessed jaw. Or fat tongues.
