Snoring is essentially your body’s way of signaling that it’s struggling to breathe.

Snoring occurs when the airflow from your mouth to your throat is partially blocked. This can happen when the tongue, a muscle in your mouth, becomes thicker due to fat storage. Like any muscle in the body, the tongue can store fat when you gain weight.

A thicker tongue takes up more space in the throat, and when you sleep on your back, it can block your airways, causing vibrations and snoring.

Snoring can be an early sign of a condition called sleep apnea, where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep.

One effective solution to reduce snoring is to lose weight, as it helps reduce the fat stored in your tongue. This can create more space in your throat and potentially reduce or stop snoring altogether.
