Exercises to Stop Snoring

There are two sets of exercises to stop snoring. The first are general fat burning exercises to lose weight over the whole body The reason for this is it will reduce the fatty tissue around the neck which helps keep the airway .open and relieve pressure on the diaphragm. Theres no point going into details about these exercises as there are thousands of web sites dedicated to this subject.

The exercises to stop snoring I want to concentrate on are to help strengthen the throat, tongue and jaw muscles to stop your air passage becoming blocked.

Facial exercises
Try pushing your tongue out as far as you can, hold for then relax. Next put your out tongue and try to touch your chin hold then relax and the third one of the set push your tongue out and try to touch your nose. Repeat the set of three 10 times. Do an exaggerated smile hold for 10 seconds, then relax. Do this as many times as you can (by the way do these exercises on your own or tell your family what you are up to so they don't call for psychiatric help!)

Voice Exercises
A great way to strengthen your throat is to use exercises that professional singers use:
Sing La-La-La-La at the top of your voice holding each La for 3 seconds repeat this 5 times. Focus on your neck and throat muscles when you do this. Then do the same thing singing Ka-Ka-Ka-Ka and finally end the set of 3 with Ma-Ma-Ma-Ma don't strain your muscles but concentrate on giving them a good workout.

Do these exercises twice a day, and if combined with a healthy lifestyle will go along way to giving you a much need peaceful sleep..
