Researchers Make a Major Breakthrough in Predicting Neurodegenerative Diseases

06 Nov 2025

Description

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 โ€” not just loss of dopamine or brain shrinkage โ€” 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
