Why do some people age faster than others? The answer may be in your spine. Your cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flows through your brain and spinal cord. This fluid only moves when your spine moves. When it flows, your glymphatic system activates, cleaning your brain of toxic waste. When your spine stiffens, the flow stagnates, and aging accelerates.
This video explores the science of spinal movement and biological aging, including studies from the University of Rochester (glymphatic system 10x more active during spinal movement), the University of California (60% increase in CSF flow), the University of Zurich (30% faster reaction time with mobile spine), and the University of Leuven (40% increase in vagal tone)
