Most of the body’s organs clear waste through the lymphatic system, but the brain uses a different plumbing system.
Cerebrospinal fluid relies on the pulsation of the arteries to actively flush the brain, collecting debris – a mechanism known as the glymphatic system.
When this system is shaken, excess proteins collect between the neurons of the organ, disrupting communication between cells.
Vitamin D is thought to protect brain cells from such damage due to its neuroprotective properties.
