Sleep apnea affects over 29 million Americans, with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (characterized by pauses in breathing during sleep) being the most common form. A recent study suggests that taking a daily walk can reduce your risk of sleep apnea – and reduce the severity of your OSA overall if you have already been diagnosed.
The research, published in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine, utilized data from the Ontario Health Study to determine how physical activity could be used to manage symptoms of Obstructive Sleep Apnea.
