How To Detox Our Brains

Read this post, apply the most information you can, and you can use this to empower your brain by detoxing it. 

I’ve been seeing much information on how to clean our brains of toxins.

The brain gets rid of toxins through adequate sleep. During sleep, blood vessels that are part of the glymphatic system clean the brain and central nervous system, removing their waste products. Sleep is of utmost importance to maintain a sharp brain.

When awake, we can also detox our brain by what we eat.

These are the foods that help with brain health:

• Fruits and vegetables – green leafy vegetables, and other vegetables such as cauliflower, cabbage, broccoli, bell peppers, carrots.

•  Ginger and turmeric are potent antioxidants for the brain.

• ​Nuts (especially walnuts) have healthy fats, helping the brain stay healthy.

​More important points:

Avoid processed foods as the body has to work extra to detox. The glymphatic system could use the energy used to detox from these foods to clear the body and brain from waste products created from other reactions in the body. The healthier we eat, the more efficiently the body can use its energy to maintain body functions, prioritizing them efficiently.

When possible, buy organic fruits, especially those consumed with the skin.

It helps to have, when possible, a 12-hour digestive break.  A digestive break promotes longevity by providing the body with enough time to digest your latest meal and use the energy more efficiently after digestion to help detox your body during the night.
