The sleep position that is harmful to health is named

The risk of developing the disease Alzheimer's (dementia) is increased by genetic predisposition, climate, unhealthy diets, and frequent alcohol consumption.

Fresh scientific work by researchers from the United States has added another factor to this list.

It turned out that the posture for sleeping on the stomach increases the likelihood of degenerative processes in nerve cells, what can provoke Alzheimer's disease if a person is in this position for several hours contract.

To protect yourself from dementia, you need to sleep on your side, scientists say.

Sleeping on the stomach is especially dangerous for older people, who are more likely to experience neurodegenerative disorders, according to Dr. Steven Weiniger, who specializes in posture problems.

During sleep on the stomach, lymph circulation slows down, and cells are less efficient at removing toxins from the body.

The doctor also drew attention to another dangerous sleeping position - sitting. He stressed that those who sleep on their stomachs or in a chair may not necessarily experience dementia in old age, but they may increase their risks.
