A new product has been introduced to help combat snoring.

Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder that affects nearly a billion people worldwide. For instance, in the United Kingdom alone, up to 3.9 million individuals suffer from moderate to severe cases of the condition, although it is believed to be underdiagnosed.

The most common form is obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), where the throat walls relax and narrow or close for several seconds during sleep. Patients with sleep apnea temporarily stop breathing, resulting in loud snoring when breathing resumes.

“It was previously thought that dairy products, including cheese, exacerbate snoring by increasing mucus production, which can block the airways. However, new research challenges this theory. Despite conflicting data, scientists emphasize the need for further studies in this area. They believe that the link between cheese consumption and a reduced risk of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) may be significant for preventing this condition,” the source clarifies.

To enhance sleep quality and reduce the risk of snoring, doctors recommend maintaining a healthy lifestyle, keeping a normal weight, avoiding alcohol, and choosing the right sleeping position.
