Snoring
Today's site, from the American Academy of Otolaryngology -- Head and Neck
Surgery, provides information on the causes and cures of snoring. Gentle
Subscribers will find sound facts on the topic from this reliable source.
"Forty-five percent of normal adults snore at least occasionally, and 25
percent are habitual snorers. Problem snoring is more frequent in males and
overweight persons, and it usually grows worse with age." - from the
website
With a helpful anatomical diagram showing those elements of the mouth which
may be involved in snoring problems, the site's single web page covers the
various causes of this condition, from having a long, soft palate to
obstructed nasal passages. Included in the article is an overview of sleep
apnea, and its possible long term effects. A consideration of available
treatments covers surgical intervention for acute snoring cases to specific
advice on how less severe snoring can be alleviated by self-help methods.
