What is the healthiest sleeping position?

Doctor 1

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

Every individual is different, there is no "one-size-fits-all" position to sleep. One needs to follow what works for their body and sleep needs. Sleeping on left side curling your legs and placing a pillow in between your knees is good for low back, during pregnancy, reduces snoring and acid reflux. Lying on stomach is good for snoring and sleep apnea. Sleeping flat on your back protects the spine, relieves hip and knee pain.

I just ate some food and then found a dead lizard in the vegetable compartment of my fridge. I'm a bit worried about what to do now. Is there anything specific I should be doing to make sure everything's okay? Would this have any health implications? Any advice would really help.

Immediately discard the contaminated food and thoroughly clean and disinfect the fridge, especially the vegetable compartment, with soap and warm water to prevent the risk of salmonella or other bacterial infections; also, wash your hands thoroughly and monitor your health for any symptoms like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or stomach cramps, and seek medical attention if you experience any adverse reactions.

It's important to identify the cause of your recurring evening fever over the past 3 months. It could be due to various factors like infections, inflammation, or other underlying conditions.
