(HealthDay News) Many people who suffer from obstructive sleep apnea could eliminate the condition by losing a significant amount of weight, a new study suggests…
After a year, about half of the patients who lost weight and kept it off no longer needed a CPAP machine to keep their airways open during sleep, and sleep apnea went away in 10 percent of them.
[Dr. Virend] Somers noted that it's unlikely that the specific diet approach itself was important. "I'm not aware of any interaction between what you eat and sleep apnea," he said. Instead, it's likely that simply losing weight did the trick, he explained.
