HOW to CLEAN the BRAIN--Glymphatic system
The glymphatic system is the analog of the lymphatic system in the CNS
The “glymphatic system” has two primary purposes: one purpose is to serve as a waste clearance system critical for tissue homeostasis and the second is to distribute non waste compounds (glucose, lipids, amino acids, and neurotransmitters) to the brain
Getting more quality sleep: Glymphatic function has been shown to be greatly enhanced while you are asleep. Sleeping on your side: Interestingly, researchers have found that in the brains of mice, the glymphatic system cleared amyloid beta most rapidly when they slept on their sides.
**First, the channels of the glymphatic system fill with cerebrospinal fluid.
**This fluid collects “garbage” like proteins, toxins, and other waste products as it flows along the network.
**Your brain then flushes this waste at different drainage sites, where it moves through your body and exits just like any other type of waste.
Improving glymphatic function through lifestyle interventions and medical management may help mitigate the risk and progression of these diseases.
While sleeping on your side (lateral position) in general is beneficial for glymphatic clearance, research has not definitively established whether the left or right side is superior. However, some studies suggest that sleeping on the right side might be more advantageous for overall cardiovascular health, which could indirectly benefit glymphatic function. Here are a few considerations:
Right Side:
May reduce the pressure on the heart, improving overall cardiovascular function.
Some studies suggest it might be more comfortable and promote better sleep quality.
Left Side:
Can improve digestion and reduce acid reflux, as the stomach and its gastric juices are lower than the esophagus when lying on the left side.
Ultimately, the most important factor is to ensure you are getting quality sleep, as adequate sleep is critical for glymphatic clearance. If you find one side more comfortable or if you have specific health considerations, choose the position that helps you sleep best.
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow is a critical aspect of maintaining central nervous system (CNS) health. The CSF is a clear, colorless fluid that surrounds and cushions the brain and spinal cord, providing mechanical protection, nutrient delivery, and waste removal.
