so why do we sleep well repair rejuvenation but  also there’s another reason our bodies detoxify  

or shall i say our brain detoxifies while we’re  sleeping interesting it’s probably why people  

wake up feeling groggy if they drink some alcohol  or even have eaten junk food because you’re adding  

more toxic things into the body so at the micro  level you have these little on off switches going  

on in the neurons but then you also have circadian  waves okay every 90 minutes you have these  

waves from a superficial sleep to a  deep delta rejuvenating the slow wave  

type sleep that’s when you detox in the deep slow  wave phase and when you have this on off mechanism  

you have the increase of oxygen and blood flow  and then the decrease of oxygen and blood flow and  

when you have a decrease in blood flow you have  this additional increase in what’s called cerebral  

spina fluid that is also circulating around  the brain and that’s where you’re taking out  

this waste and so the cerebral spinal fluid which  is kind of lymph fluid is helping to flush out  

this metabolic junk from your brain and it’s  detoxifying things like beta amyloid proteins  

and other plaquing which will then help prevent  alzheimer’s and parkinson’s things like that  

so the more you detox the better the memory the  better the focus the better the concentration  

and of course what you eat directly relates to  that because if you’re also consuming things that  

help detoxify your body cruciferous vegetables  for example clean food it’s going to help this  

situation so you want to make sure that you  get enough sleep most people need minimally  

seven hours to nine hours i can get by with six  and a half and do totally fine but then every  

so often i can take a very long nap like an hour  and a half to two hours and i am just i’m great  

for a while so i do well on six and a half some  people need more some people can get by on less  

but here’s the big thing that can help  your deep slow wave sleep and the detox  

of your brain it’s exercise but i think what’s  even better than exercise is a physical work  

where you’re involving your entire body versus  getting on a treadmill or just lifting weights  

physical work is very therapeutic to your sleep  fasting is the next most important thing and even  

going to bed when you’re slightly hungry that’s  very therapeutic to the brain and to your body  

and then we have just a low-carb diet which  will give you ketones so ketones are very  

therapeutic to help support the brain as well  all right thanks for watching hey before you go
