The right sleeping position for good digestion, the tips you need for a restful

Dinner is a meal that should be eaten at least 3 hours before bedtime. Even if you don't resist the urge to eat during this time, you should eat something light if you want to have a restful night.

A heavy dinner will likely keep you awake at night.

Eating before bed can cause many problems and prevent a well-deserved night's rest.

If you eat spicy or fatty foods you will likely face heartburn symptoms and wake up several times.

Sleeping position is an important aspect of nighttime comfort, especially for people who have digestive problems.

Before reading about the best sleeping positions for good digestion, it is necessary to familiarize yourself with the golden rule of eating dinner.

So you should not eat food three hours before sleep.

This schedule allows the body to digest food at its own pace and absorb all the necessary nutrients and then expel the food waste.

The right sleeping position for good digestion

If you suffer from heartburn, experts advise that you keep your head elevated so that gravity reduces the pain and discomfort it causes.

Sleeping with the head elevated prevents the acidity of the stomach on its way to the esophagus, which is also the starting point of this problem.

Studies show that sleeping on the left side prevents heartburn symptoms at night, while sleeping on the right side increases the discomfort that causes heartburn and acidity.

If you cannot sleep on your left side, place a pillow that will prevent you from rolling over to your right side.

Sleeping on your back, or the free fall position with your hands at your sides, according to Chris Idzikoëski of the Sleep Assessment and Advisory Service, can improve digestion but only for a short time because this position then causes arching of the back, especially if the mattress is not of good quality ./AgroWeb.org
