[LADIES] Is THIS Nighttime Problem CAUSING Cancer?!

Ask your mainstream doc what causes cancer and he’ll rattle off the same old tired answers: your diet… your genes… and your environment.
And he’s not exactly wrong. These things can damage your health.
But he’s leaving out another major factor when it comes to who gets cancer… and who doesn’t.
Because according to new research there’s one more thing that’s essential to you staying cancer-free… especially if you’re a woman.
Here’s what you NEED to know.
I’m talking about good sleep.
Sleep issues are linked to heart disease and diabetes.
Now, a particularly dangerous one – called sleep apnea – is linked to cancer in women.
Sleep apnea (or nocturnal hypoxia) is a condition that causes you to stop breathing during sleeping and then gasp for air.
And these episodes can be downright frightening for the sleeper and anyone who shares their bed.
But there’s more to be scared of…
A new study, published in the European Respiratory Journal, analyzed the cancer outcomes of over 20,000 women with sleep apnea.
At the end, they found a strong link between sleep apnea and cancer.
In fact, women with the disorder are two to three times more likely to develop cancer.
Part of this is because of a lack of oxygen (from stopping breathing) tends to breed cancer.
But that is not the whole story.
Sleep apnea also disrupts your hormones. And since women have more complex hormones then men, sleep apnea seems to impact them more.
If you have sleep apnea, talk to your doctor about how to end it.
In the meantime, maintaining a healthy weight, exercising, and avoiding alcohol will help reduce sleep apnea symptoms.
