The position that we take while sleeping
has a significant influence on our digestion. In ancient times, the
monks used to lie down after each meal just for ten minutes to improve
the digestive process.
Moreover,
the most ancient tradition of oriental medicine (ayurvedic) as well as
the Indian alternative medicine suggest sleeping on the left side. The
reason is very simple. The left side of the body is the dominant
lymphatic side. The majority of the body’s lymph fluid drains into the
thoracic duct, located on the left side. Along the way, lymph fluid
carrying proteins, glucose and other metabolites and waste products is
purified by lymph nodes and is then drained into the left side of the
heart.
