There is a substantial correlation between the posture in which you sleep and the general health of your body. In spite of the fact that there are a number of different sleeping positions, including stomach, back, and side, each of which has its own set of factors, it has been discovered that sleeping on your left side has a number of positive effects on your health. Let’s investigate the ways in which this particular sleeping posture might have a beneficial impact on your health.
There are several advantages to sleeping on your left side.
Helps Prevent Heartburn During the Night:
Those who suffer from gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or acid reflux may find that resting on their left side is helpful to their condition. It is more likely that acid will flow back into the esophagus when the stomach is positioned in this manner because it helps to keep the stomach below the esophagus.
Enhances the Function of the Spleen:
On the left side of your body is where you will find the spleen, which is a component of the lymphatic system. As a result of increased blood flow, sleeping on the left side helps the spleen operate more effectively, which in turn helps the spleen work more effectively to filter out contaminants.
