3 Reasons Why a Healthy Diet Can Improve Your Sleep

Are you impacted by sleep apnea? Do you Struggle with awake and sleep patterns? Or do you feel you are asleep when you are in fact awake? If you are fighting sleep apnea, there is help and part of the help can come by enjoying a healthy diet every day. Here are 3 reasons, from Dr. Judith Strutz, why making healthy choices can improve your sleep apnea.

1.     Not everyone who has sleep apnea is overweight, however maintaining a heathy weight can improve your breathing.

2.     While losing weight or maintaining a healthy diet can improve your energy level, sleep apnea can zap your desire to exercise or be energized. Fruits and vegetables can help bring that energy level back up.

3.     Feeling healthy and energized can improve your desire to embark on exercise. Exercise can help you reach REM sleep faster. The longer that you are able to stay in REM sleep, without disruptions, the less likely you are to feel tired when you wake up.

Don’t let sleep apnea control your life. Visit with Dr. Strutz and her team today for dental options while improving your overall health.

When Is Enough Enough?

You lay in bed awake for hours. Or you fall asleep only to be woken up a few short minutes later because you are gasping for air. Tossing and turning all night, and never reaching rem sleep can be frustrating. Did you know that millions of Americans are impacted by the sleep disorder, “sleep apnea.” But now Dr. Judy Strutz can help you find options because there are dental treatments that can improve your ability to breathe and, most importantly, to sleep.

Obstructive sleep apnea is when your airway is blocked when you are sleeping. Once you stop breathing your body may abruptly wake up in order to re-catch your breath. After your body is continually attempting to wake up you never really hit the level of sleep you need in order to restart your body.

There is no reason for you to continue fighting depression, inattention to detail, frustration and exhaustion. If you have been living with sleep apnea for days, months and years there is no longer a reason for you to continue to live your life that way. Dr. Strutz and her team can help you get your life back.
