健康提示:固定睡姿也能让你生病

　　WHAT THE EXPERTS SAY: Known as the recovery position because it’s similar to the posture used in medical emergencies, this can help reduce acid reflux and aid indigestion, says Professor Jim Horne of the Sleep Research Centre at Loughborough University.

　　But though it could relieve a painful stomach, sleeping on your side could worsen wrinkles. Dr Dennis Wolf, a member of the British Association of Cosmetic Dermatologists, explains that it puts increased pressure on the nasolabial folds that run from the corners of the nose to the sides of the mouth — known as laughter lines.

　　专家意见：这种侧卧的睡姿熟称“救援体位”，因与医疗中紧急救治的姿势相似而得名。这种姿势可以适度减轻胃酸倒流的趋势、以及可以防止消化不良。然而，这种姿势会增加“法令纹”的压力，使得脸部法令纹（从鼻子到侧脸的纹路）的趋势加深，法令纹又称为“笑纹”。

　　ACTION: If sleeping on your left side doesn’t help, and heartburn and indigestion are still proving a problem, prop up the head of your bed slightly, so that the upper body is higher than the stomach. This can help reduce acid reflux when sleeping, as gravity keeps the acid in the stomach.

　　改进意见：倘若为了防止胃酸倒流还有帮助消化，而坚持用“左侧侧卧睡姿”来睡觉，专家建议我们可以适度抬高我们的床头一侧，为此，我们的上半身就会稍稍高些，既能减轻法令纹的压力也能达到防止胃酸倒流的目的。
