Each of us knows what snoring is. Some of us know it by hearsay, some of us live next to a snorer, and some of us suffer from this affliction ourselves.
Yes, yes, exactly an illness. Because, did you know that snoring is not at all harmless for the human body and can harm the snorer.
It turns out that during snoring, the supply of oxygen is partially blocked, which causes oxygen starvation of the body's cells.
In particular, the human brain, heart muscle and other vital organs suffer.
According to scientists, this increases the risk of myocardial infarction or stroke in a sleeping person.
During the experiments, scientists came to the conclusion that excessive salt consumption in food can provoke snoring. Generally speaking, salt brings little benefit to the human body, leads to dehydration and generally depresses the body.
Therefore, medical scientists insist that people who suffer from snoring limit their salt intake, give up bad habits and try to sleep on their side. Excess weight also contributes to snoring.
However, scientists still consider common salt to be the main enemy of healthy sleep. It is because of it that swelling occurs in the tissues of the neck, which narrows the airways and causes snoring.
Doctors recommend periodically taking diuretics, which help remove excess fluid from the body, thereby eliminating the resulting swelling.
And, of course, limit your salt intake and replace it with something healthier. Fortunately, there are many alternatives. These can be herbs, dried seaweed, lemon juice, and other aromatic natural substances.
