      @TheWhyteRhyno77 2 роки тому +64

      @@sedonarose7563 well, there are several reasons for snoring. Firstly, snoring is never normal. Snoring can happen acutely when you have a sinus infection or a throat infection when there’s inflammation and swelling in the airway. Chronic snoring can be a symptom of sleep apnea as well. About 8 out of 10 people with sleep apnea have symptoms of snoring. Your airway is narrow and the air rushing by causes vibrations similar to a flag whipping in the wind. Snoring is thought to inverse risk for strokes. Also if snoring is a symptom of sleep apnea then there is an even higher risk of stroke and other problems like atrial fibrillation. If you have poor sleep you should get a sleep study! Dreaming is normal. It’s part of the brain’s routine mechanism to consolidate memories and clear out unnecessary information.

    I struggled with constipation a lot as a child; it's important to note that dairy is given to children almost daily in schools and that consuming dairy daily is not always a good thing.
    Consider if you've had milk or if your child is given milk and then adjust their food accordingly. Don't also give them yogurt and cheese sticks, substitute that with more fibrous food.
