Learn more about the Glymphatic Sustem of the brain and how to best support it with Neuro-K techniques and research.
The brain has a remarkable self-cleaning process known as the glymphatic system, which helps clear out waste and toxins, including harmful proteins that may contribute to neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's. This system operates primarily during sleep, using a fluid system to flush debris and deliver nutrients to brain cells.
Additionally, microglial cells, which act as the brain's immune cells, also perform a form of "phagocytosis," removing damaged cells and debris. These processes together ensure that the brain remains healthy and efficient. Sleep plays a crucial role in this cleansing process, emphasizing the importance of good rest for brain health.
