There are many prescribed cures for snoring, and their effectiveness really depends on whatever is causing your snoring problem. For sure, one of the main factors of your snoring is the weakened or overly relaxed muscles in your mouth and throat. This makes it hard for air to enter the throat as you breathe in and out while you're sleeping, so air tends to rush against these muscles and causes your snoring. You can prevent this from happening by strengthening your mouth's muscles with some simple exercises.

This involves a simple chewing action--you don't need to have anything in your mouth while doing this. Keeping your mouth closed, begin performing chewing motions with your mouth. Start slowly and briefly; 20 seconds should be sufficient for you to get used to the movements at first. You can increase the duration of the exercise as you become more accustomed to it. As you chew, make a humming sound deep in your throat as well. This helps to open up your throat, and if you feel some contraction in your throat, then you know you're doing the exercise right because you're strengthening the throat muscles..

Open your mouth as widely as possible (without straining yourself, of course), then push your tongue up against your palate. Stick your tongue out as far as possible, then move it around, keeping it stretched as far as it would go. You will feel another contraction deep in your mouth.

The point of all these exercises is to make your mouth and throat muscles even stronger, keeping them from being loose and flappy. Your ultimate goal is to get the back of your throat to open widely, making it capable of taking in as much air as you can breathe in.
