How to Improve Lymph Function from our sister site
The solution is to reduce factors of overload during the day so that you retain less fluid during the day. Additionally, taking steps to repair the weakened and aging lymph system and connective tissue matrix can promote a return of fitness to your body, meaning your body is more able to naturally process water-related issues. This means doing the opposite of all the potentially stressful factors I listed above, as well as eliminating any other form of lifestyle abuse or factor that could be adding to the wear and tear issue. It certainly means eating better and following the 5 Rules of The Leptin Diet, and also reducing fat intake at dinner. Exercise will help move and eliminate the stagnant fluids, as long as you are not excessively exercising for your level of fitness, which would only promote fluid retention as a result of exercise-induced inflammation. Nutrients that strengthen connective tissue, circulatory, and lymph integrity, such as horse chestnut and grape seed extract. are top choices to remedy this problem. Boosting up magnesium and potassium will also help. Some may require nutrients that help move the lymph along, such as arabinogalactan or other immune support nutrients. Natural diuretics like cranberry can help remove water without causing an imbalance to potassium levels and adding to inflammation. And other compounds that help dissolve lymph sludge such as oregano oil or bromelain may also come in handy. While some of these can certainly be taken before bed, if you can tell they help reduce snoring and improve sleep, you should move toward using these nutrients during the day, along with improving diet, exercising and improving stress and lifestyle management. Find a combination of strategies from those listed above so you are consistently not more than one pound heavier at night than you are in the morning. I can tell you right now, to find such a strategy you will have to implement changes that will make you healthier—a small sacrifice for sleeping better, letting your partner sleep better, and improving cardiovascular health.

Snoring is the main symptom of sleep apnea or its precursor condition, hypopnea, which involves the reduction of airflow. While it is disturbing to one’s sleep partner, it is also a sign of a health problem that should be improved to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and significantly improve energy. A new study by Italian researchers confirms a clinical observation I have made for years and opens the door to a solution for millions of Americans struggling with this problem.Fluid Retention and Snoring
To prevent or reduce snoring, the solutions will center on daytime issues as opposed to something done at bedtime. The rational for this approach is supported by a study of patients with chronic venous insufficiency. These subjects experienced significantly reduced apnea and hypopnea when they used support stockings during the day. By preventing fluid accumulation during the day, much less fluid pooled around their necks at night, resulting in improved breathing during sleep.
The rationale is applicable to just about anyone who snores. Just about everyone notices they weigh more at night than they do in the morning. The extra weight at night is primarily water weight. As your body recovers during sleep from the wear and tear of the day, inflamed tissues release their water. If inflammation is significant you may have to use the restroom several times during the night to get rid of the water. Otherwise, you wake up in the morning, use the restroom, stand on the scale, and you are hopefully no heavier than the day before.
