Lymphatic System Fun Facts :

Your lymphatic system is your body’s detox pathway , clearing toxins, waste, and excess fluid every day.

The thoracic duct (largest lymph vessel) drains up to 3-5 liters of lymph daily!

Your lymphatic system is immune force, produces and releases lymphocytes (white blood cells) that defend you from infection and inflammation.

Visceral fat inflammation directly compresses nearby lymph vessels—reducing drainage efficiency!

Your lymphatic system is has no heart, your lymph has no pump, it flows through movement, vacuum and breathing.

Tonsils and Adenoids, Bone Marrow, Thymus, Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT), Peyer’s Patches (intestines) Spleen, Appendix are all organs of the lymphatic system.

Your lymphatic system has an extensive network within the gastrointestinal tract, which is crucial for absorbing fat soluble vitamins and dietary fats, connecting digestion, detoxification and also helps maintain blood pressure and transports some hormones.

There are 3 types of lymphocytes: B lymphocytes - make antibodies to fight an infection.T cells- defend the body against disease and control the immune response. Natural killer cells attack cells infected abnormal cells, like cancer cells.

Your lymphatic system prevents you feeling puffy, bloated, tired, or uncomfortably inflamed. When it flows freely, it reduces oedema, swelling and prevents illness.

GO WITH THE FLOW - Keep moving. Keep breathing. Keep flowing.

Lymphatic drainage is boosted by physical exercise, fluid flows more freely when the muscle pump action is activated. Simple activities such as walking up and down stairs, riding a bike, running, swimming, dancing and zoomba get you breathing deeply and muscles pumping, which moves your lymph from your arms and legs, into lymphatic nodes in your trunk and back to your subclavian to drain away. Even mellow activities like Yoga, Pilates and Tai Chi can gently activate your muscles and stimulate lymphatic flow.
