14 DAY TRIAL // Scientists in the UK have recently reached the conclusion that, as surprising as it may sound, a simple set of daily vocal exercises can help people stop snoring.
The researchers explain that, more often than not, people snore due to the fact that their throat and palate muscles are relatively weak.
Singing exercises reportedly help strengthen these muscles, and can either eliminate or at least significantly reduce snoring.
Experiments carried out with the help of 30 volunteers have shown that, after performing daily vocal exercises for about 3 months, snorers are likely to experience a major improvement in their condition.
“The conclusion that we came to was that the three month programme of daily singing exercises reduced the frequency and severity of snoring, and improved overall quality of sleep,” specialist Malcolm Hilton said.
“It opens up a whole new avenue of potential treatment which avoids surgery, so it is definitely good news for snorers,” he further argued.
Interestingly enough, the idea to use singing exercises to treat snoring belongs to a teacher named Alise Ojay, who first used this innovative treatment to help a snoring friend.
