Snoring is some annoying buzzing, rattling, snorting,
or wheezing type of noise that some people can make while they are
sleeping. These sounds are normally caused by the vibration of the uvula,
which is a small, conical piece of flesh that points downward from the
middle of the mouth's soft palate. Every breath inhalation will cause the uvula to vibrate.
Over 40 million Americans snore. Men snore more often than women,
however women are not immune. Most people who snore sleep with their mouths open, usually because their throats or nasal passages are partially obstructed. Possible causes of snoring include nasal congestion, deviated
septum, enlarged tonsils, swollen adenoids, nasal polyps, or even loose dentures.
Obesity increases the likelihood of snoring by a factor of three. Although people who sleep on their sides sometimes snore, you are much more likely to snore if you sleep on your back. Sleeping on your back causes your jaw to drop open and your tongue to fall backward, setting up even more vibration of the uvula and also partially closing the windpipe.

Reduce eating salt and salty foods, especially before bedtime. If sodium levels are high,
potassium levels are relatively low. Low levels of potassium are associated with snoring.
Avoid drinking alcohol. If you do drink, limit it to at least two hours away from bedtime. Alcohol causes a snorer to sleep more heavily and snore more
loudly.
Take a good multivitamin and mineral supplement
daily
Some cases of snoring are associated with poor
digestion and thus doing a colon
and intestinal
cleansing may help as well as getting supplements with
enzymes that aid digestion.
