Description

  • Acting out dreams during sleep is an early warning sign of Parkinson's or dementia with Lewy bodies, offering a window for early detection and prevention
  • Advanced MRI scans now reveal that your brain's waste-clearing system slows down years before symptoms like tremors, stiffness, or memory loss appear
  • One study found that people with impaired brain waste clearance were more likely to develop Parkinson's, while another discovered that excess fluid between brain cells predicted future dementia
  • These findings show that subtle changes in brain fluid balance — not just loss of dopamine or brain shrinkage — predict who develops neurodegenerative disease and how fast it progresses
  • Supporting your brain's "cleaning system" through deep sleep, regular movement, hydration, and toxin avoidance helps protect memory, balance, and mental clarity for life
