You flush brain toxins while you sleep.
But 60–80% of people block their Glymphatic System without realizing.
When it's offline you store fat & age faster.
Here are 7 ways to activate it:🧵
1. STOP overdoing cardio
Too much cardio = chronic cortisol spikes.
The result?
Your glymphatic system turns off.
Give your body time to rest & relax:
2. Sleep on your side (especially your left)
Sleeping on your left boosts its drainage up to 200%.
Here's exactly what happens inside your body:
3. Stay hydrated (2–3L/day)
No water = no brain cleaning.
Dehydration shrinks cerebrospinal flow.
Now, your glymphatic system can't flush toxins
Start drinking more water (2-3L):
4. Walk daily
Your brain needs movement to use cerebrospinal fluid.
Walking boosts:
• Blood circulation
• Spinal fluid exchange
• Glymphatic flow
The fix:
Get 5k–10k steps per day.
5. Avoid alcohol before bed
Even 1 drink can reduce glymphatic clearance by over 60%.
You may “sleep,” but your brain stays dirty:
6. Red light therapy
Red light doesn’t just help your skin.
It boosts mitochondrial function, improves blood flow, & supports lymphatic drainage.
10–20 mins a day can literally change your life:
7. Elevate your feet while sleeping
Your lymphatic system relies on gravity to move waste out.
Raising your feet helps drain fluid, & boost detox:
8. Lower cortisol
Your brain can't detox when it's in fight-or-flight mode.
High cortisol = constricted blood vessels = blocked glymphatic flow.
Meditation or deep breathing can calm the nervous system:
