Drew with FitLifeTV describes some tips for reducing inflammation, improving immunity and cleansing your lymphatic system.

The lymphatic system contains twice as much liquid as the blood vessels, it lacks a pump, such as the heart, to carry waste from the lymph glands out of the body. Because there is no pump, if we are not regularly cleansing the body to release these toxins, our body begins to slow down, resulting in a weakened immune system, inflammation and often times, illness and disease. Because of this, it depends on muscle contraction and manual manipulation to move fluid. Pretty crazy, right? 

Think about it – we have YEARS of built-up toxins just sitting in our body. It’s like letting the animals out of the zoo and into the wild! 

But toxins aren’t fun and they cause imbalance to our system so it’s important to cleanse the body to remove these nasty things and keep your body working with and for you.

Interesting (and important) Facts To Know About Your Lymphatic System 

Our cells duplicate every 90 days – that means, if you have “sick” cells, they will continue to duplicate “sick” cells unless you cleanse and detox your body regularly.

There are 600 to 700 lymph nodes in the human body that filter the lymph before it returns to the circulatory system.

The lymphatic system is a network of tissues and organs that primarily consists of lymph vessels, lymph nodes and lymph. The tonsils, adenoids, spleen and thymus are all part of the lymphatic system.

Lymphatic comes from the Latin word lymphaticus, meaning “connected to water,” as lymph is clear.

The lymphatic system, which is a subset of the circulatory system, has a number of functions, including the removal of interstitial fluid, the extracellular fluid that bathes most tissue. It also acts as a highway, transporting white blood cells to and from the lymph nodes into the bones and antigen-presenting cells to the lymph nodes.

There are two drainage areas that make up the lymphatic system. The right drainage area handles the right arm and chest. The left drainage area clears all of the other areas of the body, including both legs, the lower trunk, the upper left portion of the chest and the left arm.
