If you have cardiac or intestinal issues, sleeping on your right side isn’t the ideal option, even if it’s better than sleeping on your stomach. In addition to increasing pressure on important organs including the stomach and liver, this position exacerbates gastric reflux.
Potential Risks:
- Increased acid reflux
- Slow digestion
- Poor circulation
- Lymphatic problems
Sleeping on Your Left Side: Your Health’s Great Ally
Both modern research and conventional medicine agree that this is the ideal sleeping posture. Lymphatic drainage, circulation, and digestion are all enhanced when you sleep on your left side.
Key Benefits:
- Reduces acid reflux
- Improves digestion
- Helps the heart pump with less effort
- Promotes the drainage of toxins
- Reduces bloating
- Especially recommended for:
- People with gastritis or heartburn
- Pregnant women
- People with heart disease
- Patients with digestive disorders
Why Does My Neck Hurt When I Wake Up?
Why does my neck pain after sleeping? This is one of the most common health questions.
Almost invariably, the response suggests bad posture, a subpar mattress, or an insufficient pillow. The neck and spine should continue to line up. In the absence of this, the muscles and nerves stiffen up, resulting in pain and even migraines.
Recommended solutions:
- Use ergonomic memory foam pillows
- Choose a firm orthopedic mattress
- Sleep on your side with a pillow between your legs
