The purpose of this 4-center study was to assess the effects of weight loss on OSA over a 1-year period. Finds that physicians and their patients can expect that weight loss will result in significant and clinically relevant improvements in OSA among obese patients with type 2 diabetes.

Someone with obstructive sleep apnoea experiences recurrent choking when their throat closes during sleep, making it a potentially life-threatening disorder. Because of this, many people who suffer from this disorder end up wearing uncomfortable and cumbersome CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) apparatus during the night. Now some researchers in Australia have found that having a banana smoothie nightcap might just help keep the throat open and therefore reduce this risk of choking. The study, conducted by a New South Wales University, has come out with preliminary results that indicate that phospholipids (fatty acids) in bananas stay active in ...
