The Health Upgrade Podcast 106: Glymphatics - The Missing Link to Brain Health
In this fascinating episode of the Health Upgrade Podcast, we explore the often-overlooked glymphatic system, revealing its crucial role in maintaining brain health. We break down how this system functions like a personal detox mechanism for the brain, focusing on how it works mainly during the deep, slow-wave sleep stages to clear out metabolic waste and toxins. We also dive into real-life applications, sharing practical tips on optimizing this system through activities like getting quality sleep, maintaining proper hydration, and incorporating regular exercise.
The conversation highlights how lifestyle choices, such as diet and stress management, are intricately linked to glymphatic system efficiency. You will learn how practices like deep breathing, vagus nerve stimulation, and moderate exercise can profoundly impact brain health and cognitive function. We share insights into cutting-edge research and the potential for future advancements in enhancing glymphatic function even during waking hours.
