#STEEMGIGS : TIL (TILL I LEARNED) - WHY YOU SHOULD NOT SLEEP ON YOUR RIGHT SIDE
Everything in life has its own ethics and whenever you go contrary, you get to harm yourself. Today, we'll be seeing the right way to sleep and the wrong way too. But we'll be focusing mostly on the reasons why you should never sleep on the wrong side.
Sleeping on your left side is better than sleeping on your right side.
WHY YOU SHOULD NEVER SLEEP ON YOUR RIGHT SIDE
- BETTERMENT OF THE HEART
It is better for the heart when you do not sleep on your right side in that it is easier for the heart to pump blood through the body because the main artery bends to the left and not the right. By the time, you sleep on your right side, you tend to not allow the heart to pump blood properly which could have an adverse effect on you.
- ANATOMICAL PECULIARITIES
This is a very vital one. It is worthy of note that the pancreas and the stomach are situated on the left side of the body. When we sleep on our right side, the stomach pushes against the pancreas and obstructs its proper functioning. And this is not good to our health in any way.
- LYMPH DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENT
One of the duties of the lymphatic system is to do away with waste and unwanted minerals in the body. The lymphatic system can remove waste and unwanted mineral from the body more easily when we sleep on the left side because these waste minerals are being transported out through the left side of the body. So when one sleeps on the right side, he/she tends to hinder or slow down these waste minerals transportation out of the body.
- AIDS IN DIGESTION
The food we eat needs to be digested properly in order avoid complications. Stomach acids cannot flow into the oesophagus because it comes out of the right side of the stomach. This helps digestion and prevents as well as stopping the influx of the stomach acid.
- THE SPLEEN IS RELIEVED
According to the English Dictionary, 'spleen' is a ductless vascular gland, located in the left upper abdomen near the stomach, which destroys old red blood cells, removes debris from the bloodstream, acts as a reservoir of blood, and produces lymphocytes. It is found in vertebrates including humans.
Like the lymphatic system, one of the operations of the spleen as stated above is the removal of debris, waste from the bloodstream. Waste minerals and debris are transported to the spleen on the left side and can be expelled and sent out of the body faster. In other to achieve this, we ought to sleep on our left side.
We have come to see the disadvantages and reasons why we all should not sleep on our right side. Maybe you did not know these things before now and you have been ignorantly been sleeping on the right side. But now you know and it would not be good of you if you continue in the wrong way of sleeping as you will be doing yourself more harm than good.
