Sleep, exercise and a little\u00a0alcohol<\/a>\u00a0can help the brain \u2018wash\u2019 itself at night to prevent Alzheimer\u2019s, scientists say.<\/p>\n

British researchers found the combination stimulated the brain\u2019s own cleaning system, wiping away the toxic build up of proteins linked to the devastating disease.<\/p>\n

The research on mice is a breakthrough as it could now be used to create new insights into how the human brain works \u2013 and clears away its waste products.<\/p>\n

Dr Ian Harrison, from University College\u00a0London<\/a>, told the Cheltenham Science Festival studies on the brain fluid of mice showed that a good night\u2019s sleep, increasing heart rate through exercise, and 25ml of wine per day stimulates the brain\u2019s own cleaning system.<\/p>\n

Scientists found brain fluid, which is key to transporting waste out of the brain, penetrated deeper into the organ during sleep, making the body\u2019s self-cleaning process more effective.<\/p>\n

Research is now focusing on finding ways of preventing the human brain\u2019s cleaning system \u2013 the glymphatic system \u2013 from failing.\u00a0\u00a0

Dr Harrison said: \u2018A paper came out a couple of years ago where the researchers studied the brains of mice when they are asleep and mice when they are awake.<\/p>\n

\u2018What the researchers did was inject a dye into the cerebrospinal [brain] fluid and see where it goes.<\/p>\n

\u2018In the mice that were awake, that cerebrospinal fluid starts to go into the brain but only resides on the surface and doesn\u2019t go deep into the brain tissue.<\/p>\n

\u2018In the same animal when it fell asleep, that cerebrospinal fluid goes far deeper into the brain.\u2019<\/p>\n

The cerebrospinal fluid is known to transport waste material out of the brain, and the…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
