Abdominal Movement Flushes Neural Waste
The brain is far more mechanically integrated with the rest of the body than scientists previously realized. In a study, researchers revealed a “hydraulic pump” mechanism that links physical activity to brain health.
When you contract your abdominal muscles, even during a light movement like taking a step, you compress blood vessels that push fluid into the spinal cavity. This pressure causes the brain to gently “sway” within the skull, a motion that acts like squeezing a dirty sponge to flush out toxic neural waste via the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).

I’ve learned many important lessons in my roughly 30 yrs of medical practice. Here’s one:
Believe the patient.
The overwhelming majority are not only telling the truth, they’re the only ones who can speak their truth.
And it’s been such a privilege to be part of it.
