What is sleep apnea and how is it corrected?

• Sleep apnea affects 3.5 million people in the adult population in Mexico. And in those over 65 years of age, it reaches up to 2.5 million people.
• Cambridge Weight Plan released a study where it was proven that Sleep Apnea can be reduced or even eliminated with adequate weight loss.
• Obesity brings health problems such as diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol levels and can cause Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome. In a direct study, carried out by Cambridge Weight Plan, it was found that up to 86% of overweight people had obstructive sleep apnea, due to being overweight and obese. Sleep apnea is the interruption of the normal flow of air through the airways while sleeping, that is, difficulty breathing. 75% of people who suffer from it have problems with obesity or overweight. Obesity causes the muscle that keeps the airways open to not work well. Causing difficulty breathing to occur more frequently. Generally, people who suffer from this problem tend to snore. Although this is not necessarily a sign that indicates that you suffer from obstructive apnea. On the other hand, excess fat also covers the tissue surrounding the throat and this causes the apnea syndrome to worsen. Since fat prevents the passage of air.

The studio

In the study carried out by Doctors Johansson K, Hemmingsson E, Harlid R, Lagerros YT, Granath F, Rössner S and Neovius M., in the Obesity Unit, Department of Medicine at the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden, 63 men between 30 and 65 years old, who had a body index (BMI) of 30 to 40 and moderate to severe obstructive apnea (OSAS). After following a very low calorie diet for 7 weeks using the Cambridge Weight Plan (CWP) system and products, a weight loss of around 20 kg was observed in obese men suffering from obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). An example of a clinical case is that of a 43-year-old man. He was gaining weight after he stopped playing soccer at the age of 30. The patient had severe sleep apnea and hypertension. He weighed 126 kg. During the CWP program he lost 38 kg and his apnea improved by 60%. Throughout the treatment and after the weight loss period, he did not suffer any adverse effects from the diet. A year after losing weight he ran a half marathon. Demonstrating a great improvement in their health. Untreated sleep apnea can:

• Increase the risk of high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke.
• Increase the risk of heart failure occurring or worsening.
• Increase the chances of cardiac arrhythmias Some symptoms that reveal the fact that you may suffer from this disease are snoring, pauses in breathing, daytime sleepiness, headaches, lack of concentration, poor work performance, dry throat when you get up and sweating while sleeping. Losing weight will allow you to live a healthier life and avoid suffering from other diseases. Cambridge Weight Plan and its comprehensive plan personalized and supervised by health professionals, helps you minimize and end sleep apnea.

About CWPCambridge Weight Plan (originally called The Cambridge Diet), it has been around since the early 1960s, when Dr. Alan Howard, then a scientist at the University of Cambridge, began researching weight loss methods.

It is a comprehensive program to lose weight and maintain it. The system consists of nutritionally balanced food supplements in the form of shakes, soups, oats and bars. Through the constant evaluation of a specialist doctor, the correct levels of vitamins, minerals, supplements and essential fatty acids are indicated to have a good diet and learn to eat for life. It has more than 60 direct clinical studies from Asia, the US and Europe. It is endorsed by the UK Food Standards Agency (FSA) and the European Union Food Safety Agency**(EFSA).** For more information about the Cambridge WeightPlan program, go to the offices at Presidente Masarik 515 col.
