Hi, my name is Dr. Downer Yard I want to talk to you today about the benefits of lying sleeping on your left side probably you've never thought about how you sleep or the benefits of sleeping on one side or the other maybe you already know that lying on your left side has great benefits for digestion after you eat the food goes into your stomach sort of cradles like that if you lie on your left side.

The food just sits there and the muscular contractions of your stomach can sort of contract the food out and digest it in a very gradual kind of organized fashion if you lied on your right side it would push all the food out and gravity would empty it in a kind of maybe an overzealous manner and disturb the digestive pathway or process your pancreas is also allowing you know on the left side so it allows it to empty without being overly zealous in the emptying process but most importantly lying on your left side let your stomach do the churning that it needs to do to digest properly very very important but from sleeping at night why would you want to sleep on your left side well one reason that you want to sleep on your left side is that your lymphatic system primarily dumps into the left side above your heart so while lying on your left side allows this natural draining takes place in your lymphatic system and there is no heart pump connected to your lymph the lymph drains by muscular contractions which isn't happening when you sleep so, therefore, it's just kind of a gravity-fed kind of oozing and the lymph is supported by gravity when you sleep on your left side one of the major organs of the lymphatic system is your spleen the spleen is one of the central organs of your lymphatic system it's like a big huge lymph node and when that's on your left side too so when you sleep on your left the whole lower extremity and the body drains into that spleen helping the drains support B to be supported and function way better you know I always say that in our body it's always how well we move to waste out that makes or breaks us if the lymph system is congested biggest circulatory detox system that we have if that's gone cell we can be in trouble I automatically we always evaluate the lymphatic system first and this is a great way to do a little imp support every single night while you sleep for eight hours which is a pretty cool thing in addition your intestinal tract your large intestine actually is connected to your small intestine and your small intestine kind of ends on the right side called 

the ileocecal valve and that dumps into the large intestine and that's on the right so when you lie on your left side the when you lie on your left side what happens is that all the food can actually be dumped into the small intestine in a very effortless manner into the large intestine and actually begin to help for a big elimination or evacuation first thing in the morning then the food works its way all night long into what's called the descending colon and the descending colon the descending colon is on the left side so it supports the dumping of all the waste into this ending colon when you stand up first thing in the morning drink a big glass of water that triggers that pair of stalk response and that whole descending colon is ready for a big large illumination so it sets you up for that first morning down lately always talked about which is a very cool thing and maybe the most important one of all is that your heart actually has a big artery coming out of it called the aorta and when it comes up and you lie on your left side that are your two curves to the left and then goes down into your abdomen so when you lie on your left side and your heart is pumping it's literally pumping downhill now if you have ever worked with pumps in your yard pumping water irrigation you know that pumping uphill is extremely hard and pumping any water downhill is the effortless and so when you get oil on your left side you're actually literally allowing your part to pump going downhill and that may be the biggest benefit at all so think about maybe get in the fetal position and lying on your left side and just think about the benefits of sleeping on your left side of course you know we always think about maybe we can get some velcro pajamas and a Velcro sheet and just stick yourself unless I and then you sort of get stuck I don't think it's we have to be this rigid about it but go to bed thinking about that and maybe eventually you waking up thinking about that and then you can eventually train your body to get some of the benefits of your left side pretty amazing and we don't have lots of studies although I have seen study to show that we will lie on the left side after a meal they get less heartburn and they need less anti acids but this is an anatomically logical thing to do and it's something that's been practiced for thousands of years as part of Ayurvedic.
