According to the Journal of Inflammation, as cited in the National Institutes of Health, treating your sleep apnea with Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) reduces inflammation. The study analyzed the collective results of 24 separated studies involving over 1,000 patients.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is associated with type-II diabetes and heart disease, though scientists still don't know whether OSA places people at greater risk for these maladies or vice versa.
Another interesting fact? Most people with OSA don't know they have it. If you are waking up tired, experience a foggy headache, and have a larger neck size (17.5" to 18" or larger), you fit the profile; you might want to talk about it with your doctor.
Keep Smilin'!
