Sleeping on Stomach (facing downwards): Intestines surround the stomach on its left and right through which the food passes and the body obtains various vitamins and chemicals from these. Each intestine is attached with the other by a thin layer of fat. While sleeping on stomach, for being on a higher side, the intestines get suspended in a hanging position. Due to this, there are chances of intestines to develop knots leaving no solution other than surgery. So this posture of sleeping is also in contradiction to health. Furthermore, the qualities of understanding and intellect subside if this position is adopted while sleeping.
Sleeping on the Right Side: In this position, the heart will be on top whereas the rest of the systems would be underneath. Blood will easily flow in the underside. Heart will not require any pressure to pump the blood. During sleep, human heart functions in an ‘off load’ condition and provide blood to the entire body in required quantity. There are many advantages of sleeping in this position like the sleep is not very deep, slight disturbance would wake you up, bad dreams will not occur, snoring will be gotten rid of and even after a short spell of sleep you will feel very fresh as if you have slept for long. Science has proved that there is no better way to sleep than this.
Do you know that sleeping like this is the Sunnah of our beloved Holy Prophet (May peace be upon him)? Today science has also proven the same after research. Science keeps exploring and when it finds a destination, it is the same place led by the foot prints of our Holy Prophet (May peace be upon him). Hence it is established that a practice carried out in whichever manner by our Holy Prophet (May peace be upon him), it is not possible in this world to find any better way to perform it.

Do not drink water immediately after waking up, it may cause ailments of liver. Similarly drinking water after a walk in summers is also harmful for health. One should also not drink water immediately after using toilet. Likewise do not drink water with empty stomach. Rather it should be drunk after a few bites of food.

If this happens, immediately take tea without milk. Eating carrots is very refreshing and effective for heart. Weakness of heart is very common nowadays. Eating raw carrots is effective for the same. If a fly falls in the food, then immerse it in the food and immediately take it out, since it has been told in a Hadith Shareef that there is disease in one of the wings of a fly and cure in the other.

Miswaak (wooden tooth brush) cleans and strengthens teeth, make gums stronger, prevents from phlegm, reduces nausea and improves vision. Sucking a Miswaak can cause blindness. Application of mustard oil with salt on teeth before going to sleep and without drooling or rinsing it prevents from several dental diseases. Those suffering from dental ailments should rub a little fine salt on teeth and drool it, before and after taking meals. This is very effective for dental health. Keeping teeth clean is much necessary as their ailment effects stomach and vice versa. While going to sleep at night and after getting up in the morning, application of kohl (surma) in eyes is a Sunnah and is highly effective for eyesight.
