Test and review Hivernyl
I have tried many, their effects are very variable. In my opinion, they provide 2 effects: good hygiene of the nose (a bit like toothpaste for the teeth) and their decongestant effect. In both cases, they therefore help to breathe better through the nose. And therefore help to reduce snoring. This one is composed of an essential element, sea water, and in addition mint and eucalyptus. Composition Sea water and flavored with mint and eucalyptus. Effect Decongestant, nasal cleanser. Conclusion The effect is therefore really noticeable, with a reduction in snoring due to better nasal breathing. I recommend its daily use, morning and evening before bedtime. Price found: €8.90 (€26.70 for the set of 3)…

Maxillofacial muscle exercises
One of the causes of snoring is the relaxation of the muscles in the airways. This muscle relaxation occurs especially with age and due to the accumulation of fat. Obesity also has a negative impact.

What are anti snoring muscle exercises? Exercise 1 : Push the tip of your tongue against the roof of…

Magnetic nasal retractor test
Device that would increase the air inspired by pressure on the septum (the central part of the nose, roughly…). In my opinion, it is not very effective. A simple test, awake, with, then without, shows little difference in the perception of inspired air. Moreover, once in 2, I lost it in the night. So small that I actually lost a few permanently! Conclusion Personally I don’t recommend it. Price found on the net: from 10 to 20 € Note :

Diet and its impact on snoring
Food and alcohol Diet has an impact on fat accumulation throughout the body. Including in the tissues of the pharynx. A healthy, balanced diet is therefore recommended. Alcohol consumption is harmful, not only for your health, but also to limit snoring. Indeed, it is not a myth, when you drink alcohol before bedtime, you tend to snore more. Alcohol causes the muscles in the throat to relax, making it more difficult for air to pass, hence louder snoring. A good diet, without excess alcohol, also allows you to sleep better. Drink eucalyptus herbal tea or mint tea! Before going to bed, drink an herbal tea with eucalyptus, this will allow you to free up…

Sport / Overweight
Being overweight has an influence on the intensity of snoring. Which makes sense, since fat is lodged in all the tissues of the body, excess fat has the effect of narrowing the passage of air and thus causes the “noise” of snoring. Therefore, sports activity has a double effect: The body fat percentage You can measure it and monitor its evolution, for example with an impedance meter scale . (prefer a model with handles like this, otherwise the current will only pass through the lower limbs). The evolution of this rate will certainly be related to the sound level of your snoring, so it should be monitored regularly.
