If you’d like to stop someone from snoring – I’ll tell you what to feed them...

If snoring interferes with your sleep at night – have a banana before bed...

Australian researchers claim that bedtime banana might actually stop the snoring for up to 6 hours. One of the most common causes for snoring is poor muscle tone in the throat. During sleep, the weak tissue in the throat can relax and sag, which blocks the flow of air. Bananas contain unique fatty acids that can actually help to keep airwaves open.

This Australian study was pretty limited, testing the banana theory on just 8 people – but it’s creating a lot of buzz in the field of sleep apnea and more bananas are sure to be put to the test.
