Zone two cardio, like 30-45 minutes of increased heart rate three times a week, can improve the glymphatic system's rates of clearance for brain debris, making it an essential exercise for individuals who have experienced traumatic brain injuries.

Sleep is crucial for the glymphatic system to efficiently remove debris in the brain, and slow-wave sleep in the early part of the night is essential for this process.

Summary
Sleep is crucial for the glymphatic system to efficiently remove debris in the brain, and slow-wave sleep in the early part of the night is essential for this process. Sleeping on one side or with slightly elevated feet can also increase the rate of debris clearance through the glymphatic system.

Summary
Aquaporin four, primarily expressed by astrocytes, acts as a bridge between neurons, the synapse and the blood and glymphatic systems in the brain. The glymphatic system, which is closely related to the activities of glial cells, is active during slow-wave sleep at night and low-level walking during the day.
