The best way to stop snoring is to get some exercise.
No, not the type of exercise that involves you going to the gym, riding on a treadmill, or that involves lifting weights.
The best way to stop snoring is to exercise the muscles in your mouth, throat, and nasal passages that all contribute to your snoring.
If you think about it, it only makes sense: The reason why you snore is because the muscles in your throat, mouth, and nasal passages become very relaxed.
This relaxation results in a partial obstruction of the passageways for air to flow in and out of your lungs, resulting in the snoring sound that you hear.
If you could exercise these muscles to strengthen them, then when you fall asleep at night, even though they go into a relaxed state, they will have been conditioned to keep the airways open.
A tense jaw is also part of the reason why you snore.
And by conducting these simple snoring exercises, you will strengthen the jaw muscles as well.
Essentially, having a weak tongue, throat, or jaw all can potentially block your airways.
Thus, the best way to stop snoring is to exercise each of these muscles.
Here is one sample exercise that you can practice right now to strengthen these muscles.
It only takes three minutes to perform: 1.
Close your mouth.
2.
Pretend that you are chewing gum slowly.
3.
Gradually increase the speed of your chewing motion.
This ridiculously simple activity that we take for granted every day, the act of chewing gum, actually constitutes terrific exercise for your muscles.
After 3 minutes of this activity, you should feel your passages open up.
