Green tea, long known to be a savior as far as addressing the health issues concerning most people today, has been proven to help sleep apnea victims resolve their problems. Apparently, one of its components called polyphenol is the answer to which help most sleep deprived people today.
Green tea has been known to already help people with heart diseases and high cholesterol levels but apparently polyphenol can help address the issue of most people when it comes to breathing pauses which sometimes haunt people while they are asleep.
According to lead study author David Gozal of the University of Louisville, the drop in oxygen levels and inflammation associated with apnea can lead to the death of brain cells over time. He said the study showed that drinking six to 10 cups of green tea a day can help combat this decline.
Gozal stressed that the study suggests green tea should be an “adjunct” therapy in humans suffering from obstructive sleep apnea, not a main treatment.
“If you have sleep apnea, use your (breathing) machine while you are sleeping,” Gozal wrote in an e-mail. “However, if you also drink green tea, this may help you feel better.”

Add it as another area that needs to be addressed, it is best to see a sleep specialist to see if you are categorized in this area of deficiency and hyperactive disorder that seems to be broadening the questions why many of us are experiencing growing pains in sleep.
Sleep disorders are present anywhere today. We often condition our minds on their area of issues. But not all sleep deficiencies are alike and unless the conclusion is given by a certified sleep specialist, chances are that our condition can only be figured out if we start checking out with them.
