Why is lying on the right side the most scientific?

Because the heart is on the left side, the heart is the most important organ of the human body, even during sleep, it also shoulders the responsibility of ensuring the blood circulation of the whole body, so lying on the right side is to avoid pressure on the heart, in order to stabilize sleep and healthy body.

One-third of a person's life is spent in sleep, and if the posture is not correct, it will become a major event that affects the health of the body! Which position is best for the body, supine, prone, left-sided or right-handed?

In terms of sleep hygiene requirements.

It is best to sleep with your legs bent and facing your right side. In this way, the muscles of the whole body are relaxed, which is conducive to muscle tissue rest, eliminates fatigue, does not put pressure on the heart, and can also help the food in the stomach to advance in the direction of the duodenum.

From a physiological point of view.

Lying on the right side is more scientific. When lying on the right side, the right lung inhales 59% of the air in the whole lung, and the right lung accounts for 68% of the total blood flow (due to gravity, the lower lung must have more pulmonary blood flow). When lying on the left side, the above two indicators of the left lung are 38% and 57% respectively.

The percentage of air inhaled compared to the percentage of blood flow was close when lying on the right side (9% difference) and larger when lying on the left side (19% difference).

The oxygen required by the human body is transported by blood after gas exchange, so it can be seen that the right side is better than the left side.

In addition, the heart is located between the left and right lungs in the chest cavity and is on the left, and the heart is easy to be squeezed when lying on the left side, which is easy to increase the burden on the heart. However, when sleeping on the side, pay attention to the pillow that should not be too low, otherwise it will make the neck feel uncomfortable.

There are fewer people who lie on their stomachs, and this sleeping position is generally not recommended, because when lying on their stomachs, they compress the chest, affect breathing, increase the workload of the heart and lungs, and are not conducive to health.

In short, it is better to lie on the side and on the back, especially in the right position. There are many reclining Buddhas in our country, and the Buddha is in a lying posture on the right side, which shows that the ancients have made a clear choice.

Because sleeping on the right side will not compress the heart, will not affect the uterus, and will not affect the development of the chest.

Because sleeping on the right side is not easy to press on the heart, and sleeping on the right side can also promote sleep, and can also ensure smooth breathing, so you can fall asleep well.

Because this can better protect the heart, when people sleep, the heart will also exercise, so that the sleep will be more solid.

Supine is the most common sleeping position.

Chinese medicine. This sleeping position is called corpse sleeping, and with this sleeping position, the body and lower limbs can only be fixed in the straight part, and the purpose of resting the whole body cannot be achieved. When the pressure in the abdominal cavity increases, lying on the back is easy to make people feel chest tightness and panic. Lying on your back like this, you will also consciously or unconsciously put your hands on your chest, which will put pressure on your heart and lungs, and you will be prone to nightmares.

When lying on the stomach, most of the weight of the whole body is pressed on the ribs and abdomen, which compresses the chest and diaphragm, affects breathing, and increases the workload of the heart. Prone also increases the curvature of the lumbar spine, causing pressure on the facet joints behind the spine. When lying on your stomach, twist your neck to the side to tilt your head to one side, which can easily cause damage to your neck muscles.

When lying on the left side, the legs are slightly bent, although it is conducive to body relaxation and helps to eliminate fatigue, but the heart is located between the left and right lungs in the chest cavity and is on the left side, and the exit of the stomach to the duodenum and the small intestine to the large intestine are on the left side, so when lying on the left side, not only the heart is squeezed, but also the stomach and intestines are compressed, and the gastric emptying is slowed down.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the correct sleeping position should be to lie on the right side with the legs slightly bent. In this way, the heart is high and not compressed; The liver is in a low position, the blood supply is better, and it is conducive to metabolism; The food in the stomach is pushed towards the duodenum by gravity, which can promote digestion and absorption.

At the same time, the whole body is in a relaxed state, breathing evenly, the heartbeat slows down, and the brain, heart, lungs, gastrointestinal tract, muscles, and bones are fully rested and oxygen-supplied.

Of course, for a healthy person, there is no need to be overly rigid about their sleeping position, because overnight, people often cannot maintain a fixed position to sleep until dawn, and the vast majority of people are constantly changing their sleeping positions, which is more conducive to relieving fatigue.

There are four types of sleeping positions, and the choice of sleeping position varies from person to person.
