Investing in electric adjustable beds is one of the few lifestyle changes you can make that will have a positive impact on your overall health. Here are a few areas of your health that an adjustable bed can lead to improvement:

Back Health
A flat bed offers no support to your spinal cord, which could be the culprit behind your back pain, or could aggravate a back injury you sustained elsewhere. Many medical professionals who treat back injuries recommend that patients sleep with their back resting at an upward incline and the foot of the bed raised so the knees are bent. This alleviates pressure on the spine while patients are in the same position throughout the night.

Reduced Acid Reflux
Trying to sleep can be a miserable time for a person suffering from acid reflux. When the person reclines, acid from the stomach moves to the esophagus, which causes an uncomfortable burning sensation in the chest. By using electric adjustable beds, acid reflux sufferers are able to rest with their head 6 to 8 inches above their stomach. Through the power of gravity, the amount of acid that reaches the esophagus is reduced.

Improved Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea is a potentially life threatening condition in which the airways are blocked while a person sleeps, preventing them from breathing. The symptoms from sleep apnea can be improved with the use of adjustable bed systems, by naturally readjusting the airways and preventing obstructions such as the tongue from blocking the patient’s ability to breath.

Reduction of Restless Leg Syndrome
People with restless leg syndrome experience pain or discomfort in their legs when they try to sleep. Most treatments for restless leg syndrome involve medication to mask the pain or induce sleepiness in spite of it. Some patients have found that using electric adjustable beds enables them to elevate the legs into a position that they can sleep comfortably, without medication.

Efficient Digestion
Looking into adjustable bed options is a good way to improve your digestive health. Lying vertically after you eat inhibits your body’s ability to process food the way it should. By sleeping in an upright position, your digestive system is at the ideal angle for digesting food efficiently. Some studies link improved digestion to weight loss.
