Snoring is the noise made by air struggling to pass through a blocked or obstructed airway.
Habitually the airway is blocked by flabby, relaxed tissue in the throat and there are a number of exercises that can be incorporated into a daily regime that will work to strengthen the muscles and tissues of the neck, jaw and throat to reduce or even cure the problem.
By means of exercising the parts of the body involved in the physical process of breathing you will make them stronger, more toned and less likely to interfere with the passage of air through the airways. It should improve your problem with snoring.
Any professional singer will know how vital it is to practice exercises every day that are designed to keep the airways clear. Thus, singers will work to exercise their tongues, their jaws and their throats – they want to develop strong muscles in these areas in order that they can perform.
Since snoring occurs when airways become obstructed or blocked, it makes sense that snorers should consider exercising in the same way as a professional singer to keep their airways and associated muscles and tissue strong and open. Who knows, they may even find that they begin to win the local karaoke competitions as an added bonus.
Listed are a number of very specific exercises that can be tried at home
1. In a very controlled manner, slowly open and close your mouth to its full extent. Make certain your lips meet when closing.
2. Pucker up as if to blow a kiss and hold for 5 seconds before relaxing. 3. Practice smiling, make it big, generous and exaggerated. On one occasion again hold the position for 5 seconds before relaxing.
