For some, sleep is the only escape after a hectic day. But what if your favorite sleeping position could be doing more harm than good?
According to health expert Dr. John Douillard, sleeping on your left side has surprising health benefits. Let’s explore why it might be time to flip to your left tonight.
1. Supports Heart Health
Sleeping on your left side helps your heart work better. Blood circulates more smoothly, and it reduces the risk of issues like varicose veins.
2. Aids Pregnant Women
Left-side sleeping is great for pregnant moms. It improves blood flow to the baby and helps lighten the liver’s load, especially in the last trimester.
3. Boosts Lymphatic Health
When you sleep on your left side, your lymphatic system works best. This side helps filter toxins, waste, and lymph fluid, keeping them where they need to go.
4. Protects Your Liver
Sleeping left lets your liver handle toxins better, keeping it from getting overworked or congested.
5. Supports a Healthy Spleen
Your spleen, located on the left, benefits from this position too. Gravity helps it drain more efficiently, boosting its function.
6. Reduces Heartburn
If you struggle with acid reflux, left-side sleeping can help. Experts say this position reduces heartburn by keeping stomach acid from flowing back up the esophagus.
7. Eases Waste Removal
Sleeping on your left side helps your body naturally move waste from the small to the large intestine, making digestion smoother.
Changing your sleep side could lead to a healthier you. So, why not give it a try tonight?
