The lymphatic system fascinates me. It plays such a huge role in our health, cleaning up after our everyday mess like bacteria, protein waste, toxins etc.
〰️ it cleans, regulates, moves immune cells, helps absorb dietary fats, drains excess fluid from tissues and helps our bodies adapt to stress.
⚠️ and yet it has no pump/ circulatory system of its own. It relies on the heart and muscle movement and basically us!
🥛lymph fluid is about 90/95% water
So if we are dehydrated, it becomes a thick stagnant muddy stream instead of a beautiful flowing network of rivers.
😍 how can we help...
🔸️movement
🔸️deep breathing
🔸️manual therapies, dry brushing
🔸️HYDRATION
This is why we talk about the importance of water all the time, especially at this time of year!
