In what position do you sleep at night: your back, the belly, the right or left side? One of these options promotes the appearance of wrinkles according to Doctor Jimmy Mohamed. Here are his explanations.
Monday, February 3, during the column Dr. Jimmy Mohamed’s health advice On RTL, the health professional answered the following question: What is the best position for sleeping? The opportunity to review the different ways of resting. “It is true that the position in which we sleep is really personal. It’s very hard to change it”he begins by saying.
Beyond the health side of its response, information has particularly drawn our attention: that of the accentuation of wrinkles on the face. Yes, there is a precise posture which poses a concern at this level. Besides, this is also the worst to adopt among the other four. “You should know that the worst positions to sleep is on your stomach. When you sleep on your stomach, you increase friction in the face, so potentially wrinkles”informs the doctor. Now as we know, it seems obvious! Who has never awakened a good nap with the traces of the freshly printed pillow on the face? So imagine that it happens overnight, 7 to 8 hours if you respect the hours of sleep advised, and that you do not change a position.
Of course, this is not a very serious consequence, fortunately. But it is important to specify that beyond the friction, the expert warns that the ventral position twists your neck, moves your spine and perhaps responsible for the increase in the risk of a pathology of the cornea, known as keratocône.
So to preserve your health and your skinknow that the best position to sleep is on the side. More specifically on the right side! Indeed, this is the best choice for the heart located on the left, since the latter undergoes less pressure with gravity. So, how do we sleep tonight?
