Snoring Burns More Calories
Well, if there was a positive thing to post about snoring, it is that it has been linked to increased calories being burned while you sleep. You can view the news report on it here. If you would of told me that snoring can help you lose weight, I would of laughed at you.
Apparently what they did was measure people’s oxygen use and CO2 production, which is a very good indication of how many calories you are burning. Obviously if your body is working harder, it is going to need much more oxygen to function and that means it is going to produce more CO2. So monitoring these things gives a very good indication. The people that snore produce more of each and that is why you burn more calories.
On average, people that snore burn 23% more calories each day than those that do not snore.
It is important to note that this isn’t something you necessarily want to have though. The fact is that most people that are overweight will start snoring just by the pressure the extra fat puts on the body. It is an unhealthy thing and you shouldn’t have a goal of snoring. At least that’s the point I want to make.
