Researchers Make a Major Breakthrough in Predicting Neurodegenerative Diseases

7 minutes

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
