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:
