Pay attention to the fat in the neck area
Pointing out that the main reason underlying insufficient sleep is sleep apnea, Dr. Tuğrul Saygı said, "Snoring and sleep apnea, which cause intermittent sleep, make it difficult to lose weight and the person gains weight even with normal nutrition. Weight gain is triggered by snoring and sleep apnea that reduce sleep quality and reduce the secretion of hormones such as lectin and melotonin secreted during sleep. In addition, people with snoring and sleep apnea avoid work that requires effort because they feel constantly tired during the day, which is one of the factors that facilitates weight gain. The rate of sleep apnea in people with weight problems (obese) is 70%. Especially if there is fat in the neck area, this may narrow the person's airway. Since sleep apnea occurs when the airway is blocked while sleeping, symptoms may increase in parallel with weight gain.
