Why you should sleep on your left?
    2016-October-27  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

    If you're a snorer, pregnant or just want to show your body some love, try sleeping on your left tonight.

    There's bad news for those who do it on our backs, on our tummies, on our right-hand side, spooning - or even hanging upside down. The position we sleep in may not be the sort of thing worth paying much attention to, but it can have a huge impact on our health.

    Sleep in general, and "getting it right" is a source of fascination, prompting studies and research into its effects.

    We want to know how to fall asleep during a heatwave. We want to know why we wake up when we do. And of course we want to know how to get our children to sleep.

    As the Daily Record reports, sleeping on your left side is the least harmful position for your spine.

    If you lie on your back, there is a danger you'll end up putting too much pressure on your hips and upper back.

    If you prefer to sleep on your front, then this can lead to neck and lower back strain.

    Whereas sleeping on your left-hand side can do you the world of good. The body is able to take the pressure off lymph drainage from the heart and spleen, which is crucial for encouraging the natural flow of lymph fluid and preventing lymphatic congestion.

    As positions go, it's also better for your breathing - especially if you find yourself congested at nighttime.

    Partner who snores? By encouraging them to lie on their left, the volume and frequency of their snoring will be reduced.

    That's because lying on your side gives optimum air flow to your lungs and prevents the base of your tongue from lolling into the back of your throat, obstructing breathing.

    If you suffer from heartburn, sleeping on your left can reduce the uncomfortable symptoms and reduce acid reflux.

    Pregnant? Women expecting a baby are advised to adopt this position when falling asleep to encourage healthy blood flow.

    And on a more toilet-related topic, adopting the left-hand side will allow your body to process waste quicker, which in turn helps guard you against constipation.

    Because of the route the intestines take, lying on the left means food is able to travel easier towards your colon.

    So, remember. When it comes to sleep, go left.

    为什么左侧卧是最佳睡姿?

    如果你睡觉打鼾,怀着宝宝,或者只是想对自己的身体好点,今晚试试左侧卧吧。

    这对那些喜欢仰躺,俯卧,右侧卧,搂抱,甚至倒挂的人来说就不是什么好消息了。睡觉姿势或许不值得大惊小怪,但它确实对我们的身体健康产生巨大影响。

    睡眠和睡眠的“正确打开方式”是个有趣的话题,让人不禁要对其影响研究调查一番。

    我们想知道在酷热环境下如何入睡,想知道为什么会突然醒来,还想知道怎么哄孩子睡觉。

    据《每日纪事报》报道,向左侧睡是对脊柱伤害最小的睡姿。

    仰睡有可能会压迫到髋骨和上背部。

    趴着睡可能会压迫到颈部和下背部。

    向左侧睡却对身体大有好处。这种姿势能够缓解心脏和脾脏的淋巴引流压力,对促进淋巴液自然循环及防止淋巴堵塞具有非常重要的意义。

    尤其当我们夜间鼻塞、喘不过气时,向左侧睡更有助于呼吸顺畅。

    睡觉打呼的朋友左侧睡能够降低打呼的音量和频率。那是因为向左侧躺既可促进空气进入肺部畅通无阻,又能防止舌根挡住咽喉后部阻碍呼吸。

    对胃灼热患者,向左侧睡还能够缓解胃酸反流等不适症状。

    怀宝宝的妈妈向左侧睡能够促进良好的血液循环。从如厕的角度来说,向左侧睡有助于加速清理体内的废物残渣,不容易便秘。

    根据肠道所在人体位置,向左侧躺能够加快食物进入结肠,促进消化。

    因此,记得睡觉时要向左侧躺哦。
