Sleep on your left side can relieve you from heartburn

Acid indigestion or heartburn - a burning sensation in the chest. The reason for this unpleasant phenomenon is the regurgitation of stomach acid contact. Originating in the chest, a burning sensation may spread to the neck, throat, and even the jaw. Heartburn may result in the development of gastroesophageal reflux disease.

Most of us are familiar with this unpleasant feeling, but keep in mind - sleep on the left side of the body can help to cope with heartburn, while sleeping on the right will only exacerbate the situation.

Presumably, this is because while sleeping on the right side of the circular muscle that prevents the penetration of food residues from the stomach into the esophagus, relaxes ceases to perform its function, and the acidity of the esophagus thus increasing.
