Can You Exercise Your
Snoring Away?
All over
the web, you can find articles on exercises to reduce snoring. But
does it actually work? Does incorporating these “snoring exercises” into your
daily routine actually make a difference?
Some of
the exercises are a little ridiculous, and you probably don’t want to try these
in public. If you do, you would certainly get some funny looks. I
tried all of the exercises and decided that it’s kind of like yoga
for your face.
THE EXERCISES:
Pretend to chew gum or sip juice for a minute at a time throughout the
day. Then protrude the lower jaw over the upper jaw, while showing your
teeth and hold it for ten seconds. (I tried this and felt like I was
impersonating a bulldog.)
Try opening your mouth as wide as you possibly can, then pursing your
lips together. Now that your lips are together, pretend you are blowing a kiss.
Hold that position for five seconds and then relax.
Next, smile as big as you can and hold it for five seconds. Relax. Open
your mouth and stick out your tongue as far as you can, but make sure it stays
straight. Move your tongue from left to right.
Place your hand on your jaw, open your mouth and put as much pressure on
the jaw as you can handle. Hold for five and then relax. This one left me a
little sore for a few seconds afterwards.
There are
also vocal exercises, recommended by some doctors, that you can try in addition
to this face yoga.
VOCAL EXERCISES:
Before going to sleep, repeat the following phrase ten to twenty times:
“The lips, the teeth, the tip of the tongue”. Or practice the
surprised expressions of “ahhhh, ooooooh, eeeee!” like you were in
the audience of The Price is Right and they just revealed the Showcase
Showdown.
Like any
stop snoring solution, these exercises may work for some better than
others. They certainly worked well at making my coworkers laugh at me when they
walked in on my practicing.
The major
thing to remember is that an overall healthy lifestyle of eating
right and proper exercise (not just face yoga) will help reduce or
eliminate your snoring and make you feel better from head to toe. If you are
