Home remedies for snoring
by changing sleeping position

The first 3 home remedies for snoring have to do with the position you sleep in and what you can change about it to prevent snoring. The main goal is to keep your airways clear and the air flowing smoothly

Snoring remedies with the help of

First try to sleep without any pillow. Pillows stimulate snoring by putting a kink in your neck which makes breathing much less easy. You can see how this works by simply sitting up straight, take a deep breath and in the middle of that deep breath bow your head...see and this is even without gravity pulling your tissues down into your airways

Snoring remedies with the help of

A bit the opposite is when you elevate not just your head but your entire upper body as much as possible this will make breathing also much easier. This because your tongue and jaw come forward and gravity doesn't pull your body tissues as much into the airway

Raise the entire head of the bed just a few inches (4" is best), you can do this by simply putting something under the legs of the head part (bricks, tiles, planks.) Or you could consider buying a bed with moving upper body parts

Snoring remedies with the help of

Most moderate snorers only snore when they are sleeping on their back. Sleeping on your side therefore can help to keep the airways open and stop you from snoring

"But I am asleep how do I know if I'm on my back or not?" We heard that question a few times before. There is a very easy home remedy to achieve this, sow a pocket with a tennis ball or golf ball in it on the back of your pajamas. This way when you roll on your back the discomfort of the ball will immediately turn you over

There are stories of civil war soldiers who had small cannonballs sown onto their sleeping outfit to prevent them from snoring and alerting the enemy

For heavy snorers these specific home remedies for snoring will do only a little good because they will probably snore in any position, but it is certainly worth a try

Snoring Remedies
Exercise program

Snoring remedies with the help of a

After seeing reasonable results (we were not totally satisfied...) with all kind of different exercises and life style changes, we decided to develop our own exercise program against snoring

As we were researching and exploring, we bumped into an old friend of ours, Christian Goodman. He told us he was so tired of his snoring, that he had done exactly the same we were doing. He had developed and perfected exercises and worked them into a complete anti snoring program...what a wonderful coincidence

It looked very promising and curious as we were, we asked if we were allowed to test his program in real life, not on paper (we want results, no numbers and theories.) He agreed and the results we got from his exercise program were flat out ASTOUNDING!

We were totally blown away by the simplicity and the positive effects it had on most people's snoring habits. All people had to do was stick to the schedule, which means a step-by-step, simple 3 minute a day exercise program, that’s it, and they stopped snoring 1 by 1, almost like magic

Of all the snoring remedies we had used until then, this was BY FAR the most effective we've ever seen

He called it the: Stop Snoring Exercise Program

Not quite an inventive name, but it exactly says what it does, it stops you from snoring and that's what counts

It is based on relatively simple singing and palate training exercises. Without getting too technical, these techniques open your airways and strengthen your muscles in all the right places

We were so jealous we didn't think of this before ourselves. Because all the ingredients for this program were sitting in our office for as long as we remembered, but we never put 1 and 1 together

We HAVE to tell you...

But credit where credit's due, Christian Goodman did an amazing job by putting this exercise program together. In fact we thought it was so good that we stopped searching ourselves and asked him if we could use his method. He agreed and we also suggested that we could tell you, our visitors, about his exercise program

And we think we just did...

The program consists of 24 techniques which are divided among 7 different exercise programs. It comes with clear instructions, audio files for practice and Christian's personal guidance...ah and he has an 8 week money back guarantee, just in case (we don't think anyone ever used it so far...) which makes it even more attractive to try it out

Most snorers are middle-aged, overweight men. Since you can't turn back time you might as well try to turn back the scales. This by the way applies to snorers in general; overweight is one of the major reasons for snoring

Men can already start snoring when they are 20% over their ideal body weight, with women that is 30 to 40%. If you are a moderate snorer losing a few pounds will make your snoring less loud or it may even totally disappear

This might be easier said than done we understand, but losing weight when you are overweight obviously also improves your general well being and health

So eat a well balanced diet with a lot of vegetables and fruit, wholegrain breads, oats, muesli, brown rice, pasta etc (complex carbohydrates), water, less fat, less or no refined sugar etc. A basic healthy diet

Exercise regularly, this stimulates your system, builds muscle, burns fat and keeps you generally in better shape
