The brain signals the body to wake up
so you do not die in your sleep. The problem with that is you never get into the
REM sleep with regulates hormones, especially the one that regulates appetite.
Consequences of untreated sleep apnea
include: high blood pressure, weight gain, sleepiness, morning headaches,
inability to concentrate, depression, stroke, heart attacks, and other medical
problems.
Researchers found
that people with severe sleep apnea who lost the recommended amount of weight
were three times more likely to experience a complete remission of sleep apnea
symptoms compared with people who didn’t lose weight.
"These results show that doctors as well as patients can
expect a significant improvement in their sleep apnea with weight loss,"
researcher Gary Foster, director of the Center for Obesity Research and
Education at Temple University, says in a news release. "And a reduction in
sleep apnea has a number of benefits for overall health and well-being."
I
hope this newsletter can help save a loved ones life.

contact with!
Yours in health, Brian
