Lymphatic Health: Cleaning Out Your Body’s Waste
~ by Danielle Greason
As you being to clean up our diet, drink some more green smoothies and replace a few sandwiches with salads, your body will ramp up its house cleaning efforts, getting rid of all the unwanted ‘stuff’ that’s been lurking around and accumulating among our cells. This is where your lymph comes in to help with the clean up! Through a complex system of glands and tubing, lymph fluid flows in and around all your body’s cells and organs, carrying away the toxins and debris and transporting them safely to the exit door – your elimination organs!
The proper functioning of this lymphatic system is essential to your health, to your immune system and to detoxing effectively. There are a number of different things you can do to improve the effectiveness and flow of your lymph fluid.
Whole Food & Lymphatic Health
I’ll be covering 4 common issues that can be prevented or improved by focusing on your lymphatic system, and looking at specific foods and practices that can get your lymph pumping and pristine. We’ll take a look at:
- Sore throats – those uncomfortable, swollen glands in your neck signaling all is not well in your body temple
- Cellulite – clearing away the toxins and blockages that exacerbate those lumps and bumps
- Swollen lymph nodes – which result when the lymph fluid is congested and blocked
- Water retention – again, indicating your lymph fluid is not flowing freely as it should
