@anastasiabeautyfascia: Your brain takes out its garbage every night. But only if the exit isn’t blocked. The glymphatic system was discovered in 2012. It changed everything. While you sleep, cerebrospinal fluid floods into the brain along the periarterial spaces surrounding your blood vessels. It mixes with interstitial fluid and flushes out metabolic waste including amyloid-beta, the protein linked to Alzheimer’s. Research shows the interstitial space in the brain expands by 60% during sleep to allow this to happen. But that waste has to physically leave the brain. It exits through the meningeal lymphatic vessels, along the cranial nerves, and into the deep cervical lymph nodes. In your neck. MRI studies in humans have confirmed this pathway. The neck is the final exit for your brain’s waste. When the neck muscles are chronically tight, they compress the deep cervical lymphatic vessels. The exit narrows. Flow slows. The waste removal system backs up. The garbage didn’t stop being produced. It just can’t leave. The glymphatic system peaks during sleep. But cervical lymphatic drainage peaks during waking hours. If the neck is tight all day and all night, there is no window for efficient clearance. Researchers are now investigating this as a contributing factor in neurodegeneration. Reduced clearance of amyloid-beta and tau is a hallmark of Alzheimer’s. Aging itself is linked to declining function in these pathways. This is why your routine should always start with the neck. The face drains into the neck. The brain drains into the neck. If the neck is locked, nothing upstream can clear. Morning puffiness. Brain fog. Heavy eyes. Same exit. Same bottleneck. Follow along with this tutorial. Do you start your routine with the neck or just the face?
