Is lying flat for health?
These two days, everyone must have been screened by the sleeping position of "coming back to light". With the increase of heat, many people have mixed attitudes towards this sleeping position. So is this sleeping position good? First of all, we must understand this sleeping position. Lying in the sun requires the body to lie flat naturally, with the two hip joints relaxed, the soles of the feet sticking together, the legs on both sides spreading outward, and sticking to the bed as much as possible to help the body absorb more oxygen.

This posture is similar to the imaging examination of hip joint examination, and is often used for the examination of congenital dislocation of hip joint in infants. However, when someone really does this action, they usually feel uncomfortable in their lower limbs. Others complain that they can't finish this action. Hardly had they done this when the hip joint began to hurt. Why?

This is because there is a range of normal human hip joint activities, as long as it is within the normal range, it will not have a great impact, but once it is beyond the normal range, it will make our hip joint prone to diseases such as femoral head necrosis, hip joint impact syndrome and hip dislocation.

The supine position will make the hip joint in abduction and external rotation, that is, the big hip will be in nested state. It is no problem to keep this posture for a short time, but it will not relax for a long time. On the contrary, it will cause cartilage damage due to the increase of pressure between the femoral head and acetabulum, and the nerve blood around the hip joint is in a state of traction, which will seriously cause neuropathies and other diseases. Therefore, it is recommended that you do not use this position for a long time.

For the health of the body and limbs, the sleeping position in our life is very important. Usually when you sleep, you will be divided into these sleeping positions. The first is lying flat. It is the most respected sleeping position, which can make the body in a very natural and relaxed state when lying flat, and can also reduce the pressure on the spine and cervical vertebrae.

The second is lying on your side. This position is also one of the most respected sleeping positions, because the pressure on the joints will be less when sleeping, and you can choose to bend your legs slightly upward, which can reduce the pressure on your knees and hip joints.

Some people like to sleep on their stomachs. In fact, this posture is not recommended, because it is easier to oppress the lumbar and cervical vertebrae when sleeping, which is very bad for human joints. Moreover, this posture will also affect breathing, easily oppress the heart, make the heart lack of blood supply and produce hypoxia.

In short, everyone's situation is different, and the posture chosen is different. In life, the choice of sleeping position should start from the most suitable sleeping position and the most specific situation. However, whether sleeping on your stomach or lying on your side, it is unhealthy to keep a posture for a long time.

It is difficult to master your sleeping posture after sleeping, so you usually change your posture. Correct posture will greatly improve our sleep quality. Therefore, we should choose a pillow with suitable hardness and height according to our comfort, and keep a normal and healthy posture before going to sleep.
