7. Improves Digestion
Have your parents ever told you it’s bad to eat right before going to bed because the food will sit in your stomach all night, making you fat? This is a common myth, but it is not true. Digestion continues whether you are asleep or awake.
There is a good reason why a midnight or bedtime snack exists. Our bodies need fuel during sleep because they are still working.
Sleeping on your left side will help you to get the most out of your body.
It’s because the stomach is located on the left side of our abdomen. When you lie down on your left, food can pass more easily into the large intestine. This also prevents the stomach from being on top of your pancreas. This allows for a free flow of digestive juices.
