In addition, the stomach to the duodenum and small to large mouth is open to the right, the normal running of the gastrointestinal tract. So, sleep on the right side is not only beneficial to the liver, and conducive to yangxin and intestines and stomach. But note that the human chest on the right side of the lung volume is larger than the left side, right side affects the lungs breathing exercises, not suitable for patients with pulmonary emphysema and pulmonary fibrosis.
