Ways to prevent snoring

If you suffer from mild snoring there are ways that you can help prevent it.

Elevate your head as much as possible by either sleeping on more than one pillow or else by sleeping on a thicker pillow.

Resist the urge to drink alcohol, or take sleeping pills, tranquilizers or antihistamine before you turn in for the night as all of these things have a way of relaxing muscles a great deal, thereby limiting how much air can pass in and out of your lungs.

Steer clear of any dairy products such as milk, yogurt, cheese or ice cream before bedtime as these foods cause the build-up of mucus in the throat.

If you are overweight make an effort to lose some weight. Even losing 10 to 15 pounds can make a difference when it comes to snoring.

Sleeping on your side as opposed to your back can help to keep your airways as open as possible.

Eat a spoonful of liquid honey before retiring for the night.

Try to go to bed at approximately the same time every night.

Avoid a big meal before you go to bed because when your stomach is full of food this puts pressure on the diaphragm and thereby limits breathing passages (this is especially the case if you have eaten fatty, fried or starchy food).

Stay away from foods considered to be "rich" foods right before bedtime such as pizza, chocolate, cakes and cookies.

-Lay your head on a firm pillow at night and not a soft one because a soft pillow makes it easier for the muscles in your throat to relax, thereby narrowing the airways.

Before turning in for the night inhale steam or else sleep soundly in a room where a humidifier is turned on.

Consider investing in some anti-snoring pills and/or nasal spray designed as an anti-snoring agent.

Buy a package of nasal strips and put them in place before you go to bed at night.
