The Glymphatic System helps keep the brain clean

The glymphatic system helps eliminate waste and toxins from the brain, which is essential for maintaining brain health and preventing neurological diseases.

​

How does the glymphatic system work?

​

1. Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Flow: While we sleep, cerebrospinal fluid flows into the brain tissue through the spaces between cells and neurons.

2. Waste Removal: The cerebrospinal fluid helps flush out waste products, such as beta-amyloid proteins and other toxins, from the brain through these spaces.

3. Transporting Waste Away from the Brain: The waste that has been cleared is transported out of the brain via the vascular system and tissues to be excreted from the body.
