Women who want to stop snoring should don their ladies fitness wear and exercise regularly as being overweight makes snoring worse, according to the British Snoring and Sleep Apnoea Association.

Marianne J Davey, director of the association, said that there is strong evidence that snoring is bad for the health.

She went on to say: "Research consistently demonstrates that individuals with sleep apnoea are more likely to suffer health conditions such as hypertension, heart disease, type 2 diabetes and higher cholesterol than their 'normal' counterparts."

Mrs Davey said that being overweight, smoking and drinking too much can all contribute to making snoring worse.

Middle-aged men are the most likely to develop snoring because of their fat distribution, she added.

People who are overweight have an increased risk of developing diabetes, heart disease and gallstones, according to the NHS.

To lose weight women should exercise regularly, which could include going for a jog in ladies sportswear. ADNFCR-2569-ID-19503727-ADNFCR
