Neural Hygiene

Meaning

Neural Hygiene is a set of intentional, consistent practices aimed at maintaining and optimizing the long-term health, efficiency, and functional integrity of the nervous system. This concept encompasses deliberate efforts to manage cognitive load, reduce chronic stress-induced neurotoxicity, and support the glymphatic system’s function for metabolic waste clearance, particularly during sleep. It is a proactive approach to cognitive longevity and mental performance.
