Q. I snore a lot at night. My wife is always complaining that her sleep is interrupted by my loud snoring.
I recently wore earplugs to bed for another reason, and this had the unintended result of stopping my snoring. I now wear earplugs to bed every night and no longer snore.
A. We can imagine earplugs might help your wife deal with your snores. How they would stop your snoring is a mystery to us.
Snoring is sometimes a symptom of sleep apnea, which can have serious consequences for health. If your wife agrees that you no longer snore, you need not worry about this. If she still complains, discuss it with your doctor, who may prescribe CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure). A new device consists of a nose plug rather than a full-face CPAP mask. Some people find it easier to use to solve their snoring problem.
Q. I suffer from low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) and am wondering whether cinnamon would make it even worse, since it helps diabetics lower their sugar. I certainly do not want my blood glucose any lower.
A. Cinnamon has been suggested as a way for people with Type 2 diabetes to help control blood sugar after a meal. A review of research in the journal Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism (online, Dec. 27, 2011) concluded that "cinnamon has beneficial effects at least on fasting blood glucose."
We could find no studies on cinnamon lowering blood sugar in people without diabetes. A low-carb diet and frequent high-protein snacks (nuts, cheese, egg, chicken, fish) can keep blood sugar from bouncing around in people with reactive hypoglycemia.
There are two kinds of cinnamon; the one that seems to have a beneficial effect on blood sugar is cassia cinnamon, the most common and least expensive type.
Q. I have suffered with canker sores all my life. I've read in your column about sauerkraut, but I've found that kiwi fruit works better.
If you eat at least two kiwi fruit a day, the next morning the canker sore will be much smaller and less painful. It works best if you chew the fruit and swish it around in your mouth for as long as you can. The fruit needs to be very ripe to work. I hope this helps anyone who reads it.
