Are you tired of feeling sick & tired? Have you done everything you know to do with no results.
Could be you’re barking up the wrong tree with your chosen remedies…oblivious to this one body system of ours that’s vital in gaining peek health.
Today we will reconnect with it…learn how to keep it fluid…give it the attention it deserves…and catapult our health!
Are you ready? Let’s dig in.
YOUR “LUSCIOUS LYMPH!”
Have you heard of it…your lymphatic system? It’s often neglected simply because folks don’t know much about it.
The lymphatic is our body’s built-in sanitation system…running throughout the entire body…from head to toe.
WHAT A PLUMBING NETWORK!
The lymphatic system filters out & ships poisonous waste from all organs, tissues & cells.
It absorbs fats & fat-soluble vitamins in our digestive system & then transfers them to our cells.
Assistant to our immune system, the lymphatic multi-tasks to fight infection.
And…hats off to it being the producer of our infamous disease-fighting white blood cells!
AND THERE’S MORE!
“The lymphatic system has been called the body”s “take away garbage collector” and is the largest circulatory system in the body.”
Read more about it from Dr. Axe here.
IT MUST FLOW WELL!
Yes! The lymphatic needs our help! Having no pump of its own, this powerhouse system needs us to keep it moving.
Blocked lymph (the lymphatic’s fluid) becomes a toxic mess in our bodies.
Imagine when your drain gets clogged & backs up…all the sludge and yuck come gushing out…
That’s what it’s like when the lymphatic system is stopped up!
Inflammation, fatigue, infection, disease…the list goes on…all begin to fester as our lymph basically stagnates!
HOW TO HELP IT!
Yes! We can be proactive to amp up the health of our lymphatic.
Start now with these tips:
DO THIS:
Eat whole foods.
Beef up on those leafy greens and crunchy veggies. Stay away from processed foods & sugar. Both cause inflammation & create lymphatic congestion. A good diet is vital!
Wear loose, comfortable clothing with natural fibers.
As much as you can, watch the clothing you wear. Chemicals from synthetic clothing can leech into the lymphatic. Tight-fitting clothes…yes, including some leggings, can restrict the flow of lymph.
Drink More Herbal Teas.
Astragalus, fenugreek, ginger, sarsaparilla are a few you can start with. Click here for more herbs you can use to boost your lymphatic! Parsley is another surprise herb that pairs very healthfully with it too! Add more to your foods.
Dry Brush Daily
Dry brushing can help your body rid itself of toxins. It’s an ancient Ayurvedic practice. Read more on it here with instructions on the “how to” as well.
I just started using one myself. As I brush, I can feel my lymphatic “tingling.” Yay!
The brushes are affordable. Get one with natural bristles & one with a band to hold your hand to it.
The POPCHOSE Natural Bristle Brush is my pick. Get it here.
