With the weather
finally breaking into full summer mode don't neglect your CPAP
therapy. In most climates,
filters must be changed more frequently in order to maintain a contaminant
free circuit. Pollen, pet
dander as well as other airborne containments are more prevalent in the
summer months.
In a study
recently published on the MEDICAL NEWS TODAY website there is new evidence
to support the increase in body weight to lower hours of sleep per
night. This study states that
sleep in is more important for weight control than diet. According to this study "Women who
don't get much sleep, up to five hours each night, are much more likely to
have put on 33lbs (15 kilos) over a 16 year period - 30% more likely when
compared to the women who managed to get 7 hours sleep each night. Light
sleepers also have a significantly higher risk of becoming obese." For more information and the
complete article: http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/healthnews.php?newsid=43973 "Nighttime Breathing Mask Decreases Blood Pressure In People With Sleep Apnea" is the headline for yet another article showing the incidence of reduced blood pressure in CPAP users. "After two weeks, patients who received the real CPAP treatment had significant reductions in blood pressure during the day and night. Nighttime oxygen therapy did not affect blood pressure." While individual results may vary, the evidence is clear, CPAP therapy is an effective method of improving overall health with the use of medication or surgery.
