Train Your Throat To Snore Less (Part 2)

Now that you know the main cause of snoring (blockage in the air passages), here are some examples of what causes the blockage:


1) Your throat can be very weak and fall in when you sleep. This is very common for people who suffer from sleep apnea.


2) Weak tongue also falls into the throat and block it. This is very common if you sleep on your back but can also happen when sleeping on your site.


3) If your jaw is tense, then it may press on the breathing passages and narrow it. You are probably not aware of tension in the jaw muscles till you manage to relax it.


4) I mentioned the soft palate before. If it is weak, then it will flap around more easily and make the snoring sound. Notice that most of the time, the soft palate is not too big. It’s too weak.


5) Any muscle that is tense or weak around the breathing passage can put a pressure on it and make you snore. Very common is tension in the shoulders and neck.


6) Finally, anything that builds up in your throat will work as a dam for your breathing passage. The most common dams are fat or cigarette tags in the throat or allergy in the nasals.


These are only 6 common blocks but there are many more.



I guess when you look at it, it’s just a common sense. I’ve found that you can train this part of your body like any other part. Working out the breathing passages.


You’re of course not going for a heavy workout. You don’t kill a fly on your friends head with a sledge hammer. I’m talking about light, easy, simple exercises that get your breathing passage in top shape.


The beauty of working out your breathing passage is that the same exercises will work for what ever may be blocking your throat.

The simplicity of this is that no matter what blocks your breathing passage, the same few exercises will cure you.

You’ll actually strengthen and open up the whole breathing passage, from your throat up to the nasal opening.


Touch your voice box with your left hand (the big chunk on the front of your throat). Now also touch your forehead with your right hand. From your left hand to your right is the area you’re going to be training and removing any block from.

By doing simple throat exercises your soft palate and the whole area from bellow your voice box up into your nasals and everything in-between will be strengthened and refreshed. Plus it will clean the throat of any fat or tar.


The neck and shoulder exercises do the last trick. They remove tension from your neck and shoulders. Tension there leads to tension in all muscles around your head and throat. So it’s very good to loosen these muscles up.

And finally, the throat exercises in the Stop Snoring Exercise Program will strengthen the throat and lift the soft palate.
