Let’s talk about your liver & lymph… the unsung heroes of healthy ageing 🪴
When we think about “ageing well,” most of us jump straight to skincare, exercise, or eating better. But here’s the thing, if your liver and lymphatic system aren’t happy, none of that works as well as it should.
Your liver is like the hardest-working housekeeper you’ll ever have.
It filters your blood, processes nutrients, detoxifies chemicals, and even helps regulate hormones. Basically, it’s on duty 24/7 keeping your internal terrain clean and balanced.
Your lymphatic system is your body’s rubbish removal network.
It’s made up of lymph nodes, vessels, and fluid that carry away waste, toxins, and excess fluid. AND it plays a huge role in your immune system. Think of it as your personal drainage & defence system.
Why does this matter for healthy ageing?
When your liver and lymph are sluggish, toxins and waste build up. That can lead to inflammation, fatigue, puffiness, brain fog, and a weakened immune system. All of which can make you feel older than you are.
When they’re functioning well? You’ve got more energy, clearer skin, sharper focus, a stronger immune system, and you age better from the inside out.
🌟 The good news:
Your liver & lymph love simple daily support. Think staying hydrated, moving your body (especially low-impact movement like walking, yoga, or rebounding), dry brushing, eating plenty of greens, and avoiding excess alcohol or processed foods.
September is Healthy Ageing Month, so it’s the perfect time to give these systems some love. Your future self will thank you. 🌿
