“Mouth breathing during sleep can aggravate obstructive sleep apnea, and that can negatively influence your heart, as well as your chances of stroke and dementia in the future.”
Dr. Bing continued to explain that chronic breathing can also indicate an underlying medical or structural problem and recommended to have it checked at a professional.
The neurologist then advised to exaggerate it with supplements.
Dr. Bing said: 'I don't ignore the possible side effects of freely available supplements.
'Some supplements are great for some people, such as magnesium for [a] Migraine or B12 for B12 deficiency, but you need to know what you are taking and how much.
“And more is not always better.
'For example, I saw that people were unable to walk from taking too much vitamin B6, or increased the pressure in the brain by taking too much vitamin A.
“Remember: supplements are not replacements for a balanced diet.”
