DON’T IGNORE SNORES!

Sawing logs is a serious health hazard

SNORING is not just a bedroom nightmare — experts warn it may be a serious health problem!

People who saw logs face a higher risk of cancer, cardiovascular disease and dementia, new European studies reveal.

Snoring is the main symptom of often-undiagnosed obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which cuts off the body’s oxygen supply — potentially causing blood clots, tumors and loss of brain cells, say researchers.

OSA is a common sleep disorder where the upper airway partially or totally collapses repeatedly during slumber, causing breathing to stop intermittently — leading to loud snoring, gasping, choking and daytime sleepiness.
