CPAP therapy can lead to gaining weight_
_ It is
amazing how little things can make a big change. Breathing, which is something
we take for granted, is actually a 24/7 ongoing activity that your body is
actively working on just as you are actively reading this article.
And so, those people who use CPAP, according to researchers from Baylor College of Medicine located in Houston, take away this active role of breathing from the body and this means literally that the body is not spending any energy, which it was always before, to breathe.
These little amounts of energy add up every single day to a larger and larger amount leading to you not burning a certain amount of energy or calories which you would if you did not use CPAP and therefore leads to weight gain.
When can you expect to see it happen?
If you keep on using your CPAP then after 1 year, according to the researchers, you will see a change and after 2 years there should be a significant change.
