After conducting research, experts have found that sleeping on the left side is especially beneficial. This position helps activate digestion, improves metabolism and helps remove toxins from the body.
Sleeping on the right side, on the contrary, has a negative effect on the gastrointestinal tract and disrupts its proper functioning. It also impairs the functioning of the lymphatic system, which can lead to heart disease.
Sleeping on your back is also not recommended, as it makes breathing difficult, reduces the level of oxygen in the blood and can cause snoring. It is especially important for pregnant women to avoid sleeping on their backs so as not to put pressure on the fetus.
If you suffer from heartburn at night, sleeping on your left side can significantly reduce its symptoms. This position helps the esophagus stay above the level of stomach acid, which reduces the risk of heartburn. On the contrary, sleeping on the right side can aggravate this problem.
For heart health, sleeping on the left side is also preferable. This position makes the heart's work easier, helping it pump blood with less effort. Sleeping on the left side helps minimize the risk of heart disease.
If you are not used to sleeping on your left side, you may need time to adapt. To improve sleep, try using pillows behind your back or under your knees to prevent your body from turning over in your sleep.
If you are used to sleeping on your right side, try changing this habit in favor of one of the other more optimal positions to improve your well-being.
