老公愛打呼嚕吵死怎麼辦?多吃維他命
Snoring could soon be hushed with vitamin D supplements.
使用維他命D可以消除打鼾。
Scientists are giving sleep apnoea sufferers the tablets as part of a new trial. As many as one in four adults are regular snorers, with sleep apnoea a major factor.
作爲一種新的嘗試，科學家們給被睡眠窒息症困擾的人們開出了這種藥片。每四個成年人中就有一個人規律性打鼾，其主要病因就是睡眠窒息。
Here, the upper airway collapses at irregular intervals during sleep, possibly due to a lack of muscle tone in the throat lining, which triggers snoring.
在這種情況下，上呼吸道可能會因爲喉襯缺少肌肉張力而在人們的睡眠中會不規律的塌陷，造成打鼾。
This can also cut off the flow of air for up to ten seconds.
而這也同時切斷空氣流通達十秒鐘之久。
Though a major risk factor is obesity, the exact cause is not fully understood.
儘管打鼾的主要原因是肥胖，具體成因卻一直沒有被完全知曉。
The theory behind the new trial is that normal levels of vitamin D — most of our intake comes from exposure to sun — are necessary for muscles to function normally, and that increased levels could prevent the lining of the throat from collapsing.
新療法的原理如下：一般水平的維他命D--大部分是我們在日光照射下合成的—對於肌肉的正常工作是非常必要的，加強肌肉的張力則能有效避免呼吸道塌陷。
In the 80-patient, 32-day French trial at the University Hospital, Clermont-Ferrand, patients with sleep apnoea and low levels of vitamin D are being given the supplement or a placebo.
在法國的克萊蒙費朗大學校立醫院醫院裏，80名患有睡眠窒息症和維他命D含量低的患者進行了32天的治療，他們被髮放了維他命D或者替代物。
