Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a condition where breathing stops and starts during sleep. Making changes in your lifestyle can help manage it.
Weight Loss: Losing weight can reduce the severity of OSA. Studies show that weight loss through diet and exercise can improve sleep quality.
Healthy Eating: Eating a balanced diet with fewer calories can help you lose weight and may improve OSA.
Exercise: Regular physical activity can help with weight loss and improve overall health, which may reduce OSA symptoms.
These changes can make a big difference in managing OSA and improving your sleep.
