Is supine good for health? Why?

Lying on your back is good, but it can't be generalized. Obviously not good for the wrong person.

It is understood that 60% people choose supine sleeping position, which is also the best public sleeping position recommended by doctors. Let's talk about the advantages of supine and the inadaptability to the crowd.

One of the advantages is that it will not oppress the internal organs of the body. Ensure that all organs can operate normally, so that they can play their respective functions without being affected by external forces.

The second advantage is that it helps to reduce the pressure on the cervical spine and relieve the pain of the cervical spine and lumbar spine. For patients with cervical spondylosis, the best sleeping position suggested by experts is supine, because the cervical vertebra, thoracic vertebra, lumbar vertebra and coccygeal vertebra are all bent to some extent. When lying on your back, it conforms to the physiological curvature of cervical spine and helps to relieve cervical pain.

The third advantage is that you can keep your skin fresh. Because of sleeping on your side, it is easy to wrinkle your forehead and cheeks after a long time. Sleeping on your back can keep your skin fresh and won't produce facial skin wrinkles.

But supine is not necessarily suitable for everyone. Because when lying on your back, it is easy to cause the root of your tongue to droop, which hinders breathing. People who sleep apnea, such as snoring at night, tend to hold their breath every few seconds when lying on their back. This is apnea. It can be seen that supine is obviously not a suitable sleeping position for people with sleep apnea and obesity, especially snorers and people with respiratory diseases; People who feel uncomfortable lying on their backs are not suitable for this sleeping position. A large number of clinical reactions can prove this. A middle-aged woman suggested that as long as she slept on her back, she felt a dull pain in the whole spine and even pulled the ribs next to her. Another young man complained that sleeping on his back always felt uncomfortable, and his stomach collapsed automatically, which led to tightness in his chest; Many young women who have given birth to children report that when the child sleeps on his back, he snores, has difficulty breathing, holds his breath, shows signs of hypoxia, and sleeps on his side. Some medical researchers believe that the supine position of women, especially girls, can easily affect the development of uterus, lead to menstrual disorder, and even affect fertility in severe cases. Of course, all these people, including those who have not mentioned supine discomfort, can't force them to sleep on their backs.

Speaking of supine, here are the advantages and disadvantages of other sleeping positions and their suitability for the crowd for reference:

Prone: 5% people choose to lie prone and sleep on their stomachs. Advantages: the doctor pointed out that people who adopt this sleeping position will feel safe when sleeping, and it will also help to discharge foreign bodies in the mouth; At the same time, it is good for people with lumbar problems. Disadvantages: it oppresses the heart and lungs and affects breathing. Patients with heart disease, hypertension and cerebral thrombosis should not choose to lie prone.

Lying on the left side: Because the human heart is on the left side of the body, lying on the left side will oppress the heart, so this is an unhealthy sleeping position. Advantages: Mild compression can exercise heart function and is not easy to get sick. Disadvantages: compression of the heart and stomach, especially for patients with gastropathy, acute liver disease and gallstones.

Lying on the right side: 25% of people sleep facing the right side. Advantages: it will not oppress the heart, and sleep has a sense of stability. Disadvantages: it affects the right lung movement and is not suitable for patients with emphysema.

Because lying on your back affects the respiratory tract, giving people an uncomfortable feeling and being unable to breathe. Normal sleep should be lying on the right side.

If you don't sleep, that's good. If you sleep, your side is right, just like a fetus in the womb.

As long as it is comfortable, it is best to lie on your side.

Because the internal organs are not oppressed, lying down oppresses the blood circulation of the upper limbs.

Not so good, because the heart and lungs can't be better relaxed.

Okay, reduce facial wrinkles.

In fact, it is best to lie in various positions, because the time is not that long and there is nothing wrong with it.
