Intermittent Fasting Enhances Brain Waste Clearance and Cognitive Health
Intermittent fasting causes production of beta hydroxybutyrate which in turn helps improve the glymphatic flow of fluids in the brain. This leads to better waste clearance, potentially enhancing memory and staving off dementia.
Impact of Omega-3 and Exercise on Brain Health and Dementia Prevention
Continuing with our series about brain health and lifestyle choices today we will discuss omega3 fish oil and exercise Omega3 fish oil or omega3 polyunsaturated fatty acids n3PUFA have a rich presence in our brain tissue n3PUFA helps keep astrocyte from becoming activated Hence it reduces inflammation in the brain and also
Norepinephrine and the Glymphatic System's Role in Brain Health
During wakefulness, norepinephrine increases, aiding alertness but reducing waste clearance. Sleep lowers NE levels, enhancing glymphatic activity and promoting brain health. Understanding this balance highlights lifestyle's impact on brain wellness.
Glymphatic System's Role in Sleep and Brain Waste Clearance
N3 sleep, characterized by delta waves, is the most restorative sleep phase. It enhances glymphatic convection, promoting waste clearance from the brain. This process is vital for brain health and detoxification.
Impact of APOE4 on Sleep, Brain Waste Clearance, and Alzheimer's Risk
Studies show APOE4 is linked to sleep disturbance before Alzheimer's symptoms and affects brain waste removal, leading to amyloid buildup. Understanding these mechanisms highlights potential lifestyle and therapeutic interventions.

Abstract Synopsis
- This review discusses how substances are cleared from the brain through perivascular pathways and the blood-brain barrier, with total clearance measured as the sum of all routes, including those pathways that help wash out water-soluble substances.
- Evidence from experiments using labeled tracers like sucrose and albumin shows that perivascular clearance plays a role, especially for substances not eliminated across the blood-brain barrier, with different clearance rates depending on the substance's properties and transport mechanisms.
- Although small molecules like inulin and water cross the blood-brain barrier via passive diffusion with low clearance rates, specific transporters facilitate the removal of compounds like glucose and lactate, while ions such as Na and Cl mainly move through tight junctions, indicating complex processes involved in maintaining brain chemical balance.]
