How can your sleeping position prevent you from Alzheimers
Posted on: 14/Aug/2015 12:45:38 PM
According to a new research, one can eliminate the possible incurrence of Alzheimer with specific sleeping positions.
According to Christian Holscher of the Lancaster University, a protein called `amyloid` gets built up in the brain in Alzheimer`s. MRI scans were used by the American researchers to study all complex systems that can clear the waste in brain.
The analysis involved rats. According to the results of the analysis, the clearance mechanism termed as glymphatic pathway showed more effect in lateral position than sleeping on the back or stomach.
The mess that accumulates when we are awake can be cleared by sleep, the study results state. In lateral position, the removal of amyloid was better and most efficient, say researchers. The same tests are not proposed to be made on human trials. This protein can be flushed out from the body with appropriate sleep position, claim the new study. This flush out of protein in turn will slower or prevents incurrence of Alzheimer`s.
Holscher further added that it is very easy to sleep on the side and it will be beneficial in sending out unwanted amyloid.
