Exercises or Workouts
Aerobic and cardio exercises can help improve sleep apnea. Studies have shown that physical exercises or workouts can help reduce the severity of symptoms of SA such as daytime sleepiness and insomnia. Physical exercise can widen the airways and prevent the accumulation of fluids in the neck. A study showed that fitness activities like walking and strength training helped decrease the severity of symptoms by up to twenty-five percent. Exercising leads to weight loss and muscle toning, which opens up the airways for steady breathing. Working your facial or mouth muscles may also improve your breathing.
