[Immunity UP information] Food education that thinks from the mouth ⑥
[Immune power up information] We will introduce excerpts from past musubi magazines and books published by Seishoku Publishing. The 26th installment will introduce an article on food education from the "Musubi Magazine October 6 issue". (12 times in total). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Snoring is easy when you open your mouth From the above story, Mr. Okazaki points out, ``Children with small chins and children who cannot see their lower teeth when they say ``yee'' are likely to develop sleep apnea in the future.'' Did. Recently, Mr. Okazaki says that he has started asking parents who come to check-ups for infants whether their children are snoring or not. Then, I found that "children who can't see their tongue at all, or who have a slightly strange bite, snore quite a bit." When the mouth is closed, the tongue usually rests on the roof of the mouth behind the upper front teeth, and the tip of the tongue touches the tip of the lower front teeth.Even if you sleep with your mouth closed, it's the same. However, when you sleep with your mouth open, your tongue will not touch the back of your lower front teeth, and your tongue will fall back.The airway then narrows, causing the walls around it to vibrate and make you snore. As you get older, the muscles around your mouth weaken and you snore more easily.When it progresses, it becomes sleep apnea. According to Mr. Okazaki, many small dogs such as bulldogs also snore when they are asleep.The short lifespan of small dogs may also be related to sleep apnea.
A child whose mouth becomes "a" Before we knew it, there were more and more children around us, with conspicuous gums and gaping mouths. As I listened to Mr. Okazaki's talk, I realized that behind these changes there seemed to be a big problem. "The other day, at a kindergarten, when I looked at the mouth of a child who said, 'Ah, look at your mouth,' there was a child whose mouth looked like an 'o' mouth, not an 'ah' mouth. A child with an "a" mouth has soft cheeks, while a child with hard cheeks is pulled by that and has a vertical "a" = "o" mouth. I don't think he's chewing with his back teeth." Rinse and eat - there seems to be one cause.
