What is the best sleeping position?

1. The human heart is on the left side, so sleeping on the right side can reduce the pressure on the heart and is also beneficial to the blood flow of the human body.

2. When lying down to sleep, the whole body is in a state of relaxation, and the hands will unconsciously be placed on the chest. This will make people prone to nightmares and snoring.

3. If you lie on your left side, it will easily compress your heart and affect your digestive function.

4. Sleeping on your stomach is even worse. It will press on the chest, affect heart function, and make breathing difficult.

5. Although sleeping on the right side is the best sleeping position, it is impossible to maintain the same position all night, so you can change your sleeping position according to your needs.

Is it better to sleep on a hard bed or a soft bed?

The secret of a good bed lies first in the bed base. The first thing to pay attention to is the quality of the bed board. When we lift the mattress, we will see a wooden bed board. If the bed board is a thin board instead of a multi-layer board, the quality of the bed is obviously not high. A bed made of multi-layer orthopedic boards and steel springs has a heavy texture without any noise and is a high-quality bed base.

The normal physiological structure of the human spine presents an S-shaped physiological curve when viewed from the side. If you sleep on a bed that is too hard, it will not match the normal curve of the human spine and your waist will not be supported. Over time, it can easily cause strain and aggravate symptoms such as back pain.

A bed that is too hard will have a certain impact on the protruding bones and joints of the body. When sleeping on a bed that is too hard, only the head, back, buttocks, and heels can bear the pressure. The spine will be in a stiff and tense state, requiring the waist and back muscles to support it, and the relaxation effect that should be achieved during sleep cannot be achieved.

Therefore, don't let what you think is a "hard bed" harm your health!

Some people also say that foreigners sleep on soft mattresses, so the softer the bed, the better?

If the bed is too soft, the spine will bend when lying on it, which will cause back pain in the short term. In the long term, it will cause the middle part of the body to sink, the upper muscles to relax, and the lower muscles to be tightened, which can easily cause lumbar muscle and bone strain, and even cause spinal curvature or twisting!

If children in the growth and development period sleep on a soft bed for a long time, it will affect the development of their spine, leading to hunchbacks and spinal curvature and deformation!

Therefore, when many doctors recommend sleeping on a hard bed, they do not mean sleeping directly on the hard board, but putting a 3-5 cm cushion on the bed board, that is, the bed should be soft on top and hardwood on the bottom. This is in line with the normal curve of the human spine.

How to prevent excessive sweating while sleeping

For people with weak constitution, they should take spring tonics in time under the guidance of doctors after the beginning of spring. They should eat more foods that nourish yin and replenish the body, such as jujube, black beans, walnuts, black sesame, glutinous rice, longan, etc.; eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, eat less spicy food; keep a good mood and have a regular life. When night sweats occur at night, pay attention to the cause of sweating and go to the hospital for treatment if necessary. Do not blindly take medicine or take tonics at will to avoid adverse consequences.
