Sleep apnea is nothing but a silent killer. According to some of the recently published articles, it has been reported that sleep apnea enhances the risk of dying from any cause, especially if the disease is left without the availability of treatment.

Adults who suffer from this disease, or sleep-disordered breathing, are up to three times more likely to die prematurely from any cause, according to a Wisconsin study that was conducted on 1,500 adults over an 18-year period.

According to the results of the study, almost 19% of adults with a severe form of the condition died a premature death, from different causes, compared with only 4% of those who were not suffering from this disease!

Sleep apnea is a situation where a patient suffers shallow or paused breathing for about half a minute and it can even go up to 45 mins or so, according to the National Library of Medicine

WebMD reports that approximately 6% of American adults have a moderate to severe form of the sleep apnea and 17% suffer from milder forms.
The best formula to overcome this disease is to follow these steps:

• Learn to park your tongue at the floor of your mouth.
• Your lips should be closed and teeth should be slightly apart.
• The hard palate, soft palate and uvula must rest tightly on the tongue, just like a seal is formed without leaving any space between them.
• You will gradually understand as to how to squeeze out any air gap between the tongue and the palates with your tongue.
• In the next step, you should allow the tip of your tongue to protrude slightly beyond the front teeth.
