This Is What Sleeping on the Left Side Does for Our Brain, Stomach & Lymphatic Health

Sleeping on the left side helps reduce heartburn and boosts the removal of waste through the colon.

When sleeping on the left side, gravity helps take the waste through the ascending, transverse, and descending colon, allowing you to be regular in the morning.

How to Be a Pro at Sleeping on Your Left Side

• Measure the length between the neck and the end of the shoulder. Find a suitable pillow that will support this length and help the head and neck remain aligned with the spine.
• Always choose a pillow which fits the collarbone structure.
• Keep a firm pillow between the knees so that the hips are stacked and the lower back supported.
• Avoid pillows that cause the head to collapse and opt for the firmer ones.
• Keep your arms parallel and below the face.
