Just as other vital organs, the spleen is located on the left side of your body, so sleeping on that side would allow this organ to function more smoothly by promoting increased blood flow.
5. Aids in Heart Function
Sleeping on your left side lets gravity help blood flow, making it easier for your heart to pump and circulate blood. Give your heart a break while you rest!
6. Promotes Healthy Bowel Movement
The ileocecal valve, which links the small and large intestines, is on your left side so sleeping on this side helps waste move from the small intestine to the large intestine more easily. It is gravity that facilitates this process, supporting regular bowel movements and better waste removal.
These benefits make left-side sleeping a better choice.
