Do you sleep on the left or the right side? Wondering why I’m asking this strange question? It is because your sleeping position is known to have a significant effect on your health. Read on to find out how! Research has revealed that sleeping on the left side has a positive impact on most of the organs of your body. Firstly, sleeping on your left is most beneficial to your lymphatic system. This position helps the thoracic duct (the largest lymphatic vessel of the lymphatic system) to clear the body waste more effectively. Being on the left also assists the lymphatic system in transportation of proteins and fats along with contributing to faster absorption of nutrients.

Spleen being situated on the left side can work more efficiently when you sleep on your left side. Lying on your left side directs the blood flow to the left side, improving blood supply to the spleen. When this happens, the cleansing process is enhanced. If you are someone who suffers frequent heart burn every night, then its time you start sleeping on your left side. This position prevents food from coming back into the esophagus.

The next organ that benefits when you sleep on your left side is your liver. Being situated in the right side of your body, the liver is pressurized when you sleep on that side. This also prevents it from getting rid of toxins and overloads it. For the benefit of so many organs of your body you should change things in your life. A change as small as sleeping on the left side. Sweet dreams!
