-
How it works: Aligning your stomach’s curve to the left lets digestive juices flow with gravity.
-
The proof: Ultrasounds show 30% faster gastric emptying after heavy meals (Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology).
-
Why it matters: Less trapped gas = fewer “food baby” mornings.
4. Pancreas Support: Enzyme Release Boost
-
How it works: The pancreas, slightly left of center, releases enzymes into the small intestine more effectively when aided by gravity.
-
The proof: Left-side sleepers show 22% higher nutrient absorption in blood tests (Gut Journal).
-
Hidden bonus: More stable overnight blood sugar—especially important for prediabetics.
