[Health] Percentages

I'm not aware of any evidence that OSA is less prevalent in the parts of the world where the "Mediterranean diet" is common. I'm also not aware of any mechanism by which oil in the diet might prevent OA.

Well, I must be getting enough oil in my diet because I don't squeak when I walk.

Do Philips ResMed machines take petroleum or synthetic oil?

Although I do think the Mediterranean diet is probably advantageous to obstructive apnea I disagree that it would be due to the oil intake (although the oils promoted in Mediterranean diet are healthier). In general it is a healthier diet that primarily consists of healthy whole foods and minimizes sugar and highly processed foods.

Eating healthy controls weight, avoids excessive flabby tissue in airways, avoids digestive issues, inflammation and more. Finding and removing problem foods (intolerances, allergies etc) can make a difference as well.

Snoring is caused by flabby skin in your airway that vibrates during air flow (inhalation/exhalation) which causes noise. Can also be noises related to partial/full obstruction and clearing.
