Is it safe for your heart to sleep on your left side: doctors debunk a popular myth

Exists It is a common belief that sleeping on the left side can have a negative effect on the heart, but medical experts categorically refute the above-mentioned myth, emphasizing that this body position is absolutely safe.

This was reported by URA-Inform with reference to telegram channel “Doctor in the pocket”.

As you know, the human heart is located in the chest, surrounded by ribs, which act as a rigid protection. Doctors explain that the chest is a kind of “shell” that protects the heart from external pressure regardless of the position of the body.

“When a person sleeps on his left side, there is nothing pressing on my heart. It remains protected and continues to function normally,” experts note.

In addition, doctors emphasize that an important factor for heart health is not body position, but the quality of sleep and regularity of rest. Sleeping on your left side may even have certain benefits: it improves blood circulation and helps the digestive system work more efficiently.

So choosing a sleeping position is a matter of personal comfort, not medical safety. People can safely sleep on any side without fearing for the health of your heart.

In addition, it was reported that a powerful magnetic storm was approaching the Earth.
