One of the simplest things to do to help eliminate a snoring problem is to eat a healthy diet.
If you're overweight, reducing your intake of calories and beginning an exercise schedule to shed some weight will surely help.
Being just 20% overweight is enough for people to snore.
Even if you're not overweight, you can still include other dietary changes that will be helpful.
Some kinds of foods have been associated with higher instances of snoring while others can reduce the chances.
One of the foods responsible for to is milk and dairy products.
This is more likely to occur if you take them just before sleeping.
Milk causes higher mucous production that can block your throat's airflow.
The same effect is observed with cheese.
To determine if this is what causes your snoring at night, don't eat dairy products within 4 hours of going to bed.
If you do this for some time and observe a reduction in your snoring, it is likely to be one of the causes.
Now you have some options.
You can either begin using alternatives to dairy products such as milk or simply limit your dairy consumption in the evenings.
It may not eliminate your snoring totally but you will notice a marked improvement.
Allergic reactions to some foods can also cause snoring problems.
If you've observed or were informed that your snoring worsens after eating specific foods, maintain a log for 2-4 weeks and find out if there is a link between foods and snoring.
If you notice such similarities try eliminating these foods for 2-4 weeks and find out if the problem vanishes.
Another more general rule to reduce snoring is to avoid eating a big meal or fatty foods late in the evening.
Always consult a health care professional before incorporating any big dietary changes.
