This is why you should never sleep on the right side.

1. Improved lymph drainage: The lymphatic system can remove waste material more easily because it is transported along the left side of the body.
  1. Better for your heart:
    It is easier for the heart to pump blood through the body because the main artery bends to the left.

  2. Helps with digestion:
    Stomach acids can't flow into the esophagus because it comes out of the right side of the stomach.This helps digestion and prevents acid reflux.

  3. Anatomical pecularities:
    The stomach and the pancreas are located on the left side of the body.When we lie on our right side,the stomach pushes against the pancreas and obstructs its functioning.

  4. Relief for the spleen:
    Waste materials are transported to the spleen on the left side and can be expelled from the body faster.

Good information

Interesting. I just started trying to sleep on my left side a week ago. It's hard to change. I didn't know of the health benefits, I just want to even out the wrinkles. LOL!
