Are you the majority of people who like to turn on their right side when falling asleep? Then it's time to reconsider that habit! If you click on the video you will see what is so unfavorable for you!
The side position is one of the most popular sleeping positions. Nevertheless, you should pay attention to which side you fall asleep on a coming night. Left? Everything OK. Right? Better not - for several medical reasons. In a new study published in The Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology, doctor John Doulliard names four reasons why it is better to sleep on your left side.
Anatomical causes
The pancreas and stomach are located on the left side of the body. Anyone who sleeps on this side encourages digestion by default. The reason for this is that the digestive juices are diverted and the pancreas enzymes are secreted more effectively. Those who sleep on their right side make it more difficult for the body to function because the stomach presses against the pancreas, obstructing its functions.
The lymphatic system is supported
Sleeping on the left side has a positive effect on the functioning of the lymphatic system. The lymph transports important nutrients such as glucose, proteins, and other substances through the body and at the same time cleanses it of waste materials that are filtered by the lymph nodes. To help transport the waste, it is advisable to sleep on the left side of the body.
Better for the heart
Those who sleep on their left side naturally boost the heart's pumping function. Because the main artery, the aorta, curves to the left from the heart and flows into the abdomen, this is the case. Your heart has to pump blood "uphill" if you're lying on your right side of the body.
Spleen is relieved
Finally, the spleen is located on the left side of the body. It's in charge of blood purification and ensuring proper lymphatic function. When you sleep on your left side, the lymphatic system's waste is more easily delivered to the spleen. This is primarily owing to gravity's natural law.
