Is more common in people with severe obstructive sleep apnea in the wrong and unhealthy foods than people with mild manifestations of this syndrome, the researchers reported. Obstructive sleep apnea (SOA) - a disease which is characterized by high incidence of obstructive (interruption air permeability) of the upper respiratory tract. Sleep apnea not only causes daytime sleepiness and can lead to lethargy, but also a threat to the life in the absence of timely treatment. Scientists have the study, which was attended by 320 adults with SOA. They found that those participants in the experiment, which had severe symptoms of the disease, also had high levels of cholesterol in the blood. Such a situation leads diet, saturated fatty foods. Although it is believed that being overweight increases the risk of apnea, the researchers found no link between the results of research and weight. In addition, experts believe that eating habits may increase the risk of heart disease and stroke. Scientists believe that obstructive sleep apnea may be associated with the risk of cardiovascular disease in combination, and the primary cause is a diet that is rich fatty foods.
