Left Side or Right Side? Viral Video Ignites Debate on Optimal Sleep Position for Health Benefits
A recent video circulating on social media, presented by pharmacist and nutritionist RemeNavarro, has sparked discussion by advocating for sleeping on the left side due to its purported health benefits. The video, which has garnered over 1.2 million views, suggests that this specific sleeping posture can significantly improve digestion, enhance heart circulation, and reduce pressure on vital organs like the liver and kidneys. According to Navarro, sleeping on the left side facilitates the movement of food through the digestive system and eases the heart's pumping action by reducing pressure on the vena cava. She also highlights its particular advantages for pregnant women, claiming it improves blood flow to the placenta and alleviates strain on internal organs. However, the claims have met with mixed reactions in the comments section, with some users reporting discomfort or conflicting advice from other medical professionals. One commenter stated, "I can't sleep on my heart side and I'm pregnant, I sleep well on my right side," while another noted, "I come from another video from another doctor who says the right side is correct, get yourselves together 🤨." This divergence of opinion underscores a broader debate within health and wellness communities regarding optimal sleeping positions. Experts often advise that individual comfort and specific health conditions should guide sleeping positions, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
