Sleep apnea: Weight loss can be an effective way to treat sleep apnea. Not only does it reduce the mass of tissue in the neck that constricts the airway, the tongue will shrink in size as well, further opening the air passage way. If a sleep test has shown that the apnea is worse when sleeping on one's back, sewing a pocket on the back of a t shirt and inserting a tennis ball will stop back sleep.
