Losing weight has been known to help us as far as healthy living is concerned. And while many aim for a better looking body and physique, weight loss may yet be a great help for the people having sleep apnea problems. People who are overweight or obese are much more likely to have obstructive sleep apnea, a condition in which a person’s breathing stops or becomes very shallow, sometimes several hundred times a night and sometimes for as long as a minute, according to the American Sleep Apnea Association.

This could lead to heart problems which is normal for people who have these problems. But based on a study, reducing weight can limit all that. A 10% decrease in weight is enough to improve sleep apnea issues. So if you want a free ride to address sleep apnea and also obesity, start out with that.

    Try wearing wearable weights like “Body Togs” scientifically based weighted sleeves worn on your arms & legs under your clothes that increase calorie burn, muscle tone & bone density. Weighted vests work great too!
