This is interesting. A company called Nationwide Medical, Inc. is providing a supporting role with the popular NBC television program, The Biggest Loser. What a great educational role to take on! Thank you Nationwide Medical!
We know that nearly 20 million Americans suffer from sleep apnea and those with obstructive sleep apnea—a condition that causes a person to stop breathing during sleep when the soft tissue in the throat collapses—tend to have high blood pressure, heart problems, headaches, and memory problems. They also tend to be overweight.
A majority of The Biggest Loser show contestants suffer from sleep apnea and regularly use CPAP machines in order to treat the condition. In an effort to reach out to others in the United States who may have sleep apnea and not even realize it or who are going untreated, Nationwide Medical is providing The Biggest Loser contestants with ongoing follow up care which contributes to better overall sleep and a better chance of success in losing weight.
The Biggest Loser programming began January 4 . Behind the scenes, viewers can follow their favorite contestants who suffer from sleep apnea and gain insight into treatment and use of CPAP machines through a weekly blog posted on the Nationwide Medical, Inc. website.
Hi everyone. It's Dody from Nationwide Medical, Inc. We so appreciate this post and you helping us spread the word about the importance of CPAP and follow-up care. Hopefully you all will check in weekly on our blog. Keep us posted on what you think. We love the feedback.
