Episode notes
Prioritize Zone 2 Plus HIIT
- Do regular aerobic exercise and aim for Zone 2 training about two hours weekly for women and two to three hours for men.
- Add short high-intensity intervals (e.g., 4x4 minutes) twice weekly to spike cardiovascular benefits.
Cut Late Meals For Better Brain Detox
- Stop eating at least three hours before bed to improve deep sleep and glymphatic drainage.
- Better sleep enhances nightly brain detoxification and toxin clearance.
Sleep Drives Brain 'Plumbing' Cleansing
- The glymphatic system clears brain waste during deep sleep and differs from the peripheral lymphatic system.
- Sleeping position may influence drainage, with right-side sleep possibly improving clearance.
