Unlock Your Mind's Potential with Headspace | Eliminate Harmful Waste
"Experience a clearer and more focused mind with Headspace. Eliminate harmful thoughts and waste to reach your full potential. Try Headspace now and see the difference it can make."
When Riley Clemmons sings, “You can’t have my headspace/Won’t let you in my safe place,” she refers to guarding herself from a toxic relationship. However, this sentiment could equally apply to the newly discovered headspace in your brain responsible for clearing out toxic metabolic waste, such as tau proteins and amyloid, linked to Alzheimer’s.
Oregon Health & Science University researchers have provided the first visual proof of a network of fluid-filled pathways near the brain's arteries and veins, known as the glymphatic system. This system removes potentially dangerous proteins and metabolic waste produced by the brain's energy-demanding neural activities and carries non-waste products like glucose, lipids, amino acids, and certain neurotransmitters.
The researchers also advise anyone wanting to keep their brains free of dementia risks to improve their sleep habits. They believe this is crucial for a properly functioning lymphatic system. The takeaway: Maintaining a consistent sleep schedule, even on weekends, avoiding screens in the bedroom before sleep, and having a calming pre-bed routine (such as reading, taking a warm bath or shower, or meditating) will help eliminate toxins from your headspace.
