Since most people don’t know so much about the lymphatic system let me start simple. Basically, it’s your “garbage” acid removal system, so anything your body does not recognize as food, or anything foreign such as toxic chemicals, acids and more, will go through this system to be removed. It’s when this system get’s overloaded that we run into major problems.

The best way to start looking after your lymphatic system is to not overload it in the first place. Cut out all artificial colors, sweeteners, oils, processed foods. Instead, focus on plant-based whole foods like fruits and vegetables that are high in enzymes and fiber. These foods help clean your body, especially those high in fiber as it sweeps through the intestines and helps carry waste out.

I also want you to consider which personal care products you are using. My motto is if you can’t eat it you shouldn’t be putting it on your skin. Chemicals from shampoos, deodorants, perfumes and many other items get into the bloodstream from the skin. Many of these are known carcinogens (cancer causing). Just think about how a nicotine patch works. Just by placing it on your skin it’s entering into your bloodstream.

-DRINK MORE WATER TO MAXIMISE LYMPHATIC FLOW

There are so many benefits to drinking more water, especially for your lymphatic system. If a pipe has more water than sludge then it will flow… Make sense? So you want to drink enough water to maximize the lymphatic flow. I recommend 1 liter of water per 22 kgs of body weight per day. If you live in a hot climate or exercise, then you need to drink more. Adding a pinch of salt can help in many ways as well (Himalayan or Celtic sea salt are best).

I recommend to always start your day with close to 1 liter of water first thing and adding a squeeze of lemon, lime or orange as that can improve lymphatic flow.

-EXERCISE IS YOUR LYMPHATIC SYSTEMS BEST FRIEND

Exercise is what helps move the lymph around your body. Nothing gets the lymph moving more than walking, jumping, running, biking, martial arts, sports etc. LIFE IS MOVEMENT!! Plus the more you sweat the better!! The toxins coming out through the sweat means less for you to carry around in the lymphatic system. I recommend as a minimum you walk 30-45 minutes a day. You will notice a massive difference to your health and strength within just 2-3 weeks of doing this if you haven’t been doing the minimums.

-DEEP BREATHING IS LIKE A HEARTBEAT FOR YOUR LYMPH

How deeply do you breathe? When you take in a really deep breath this expands your diaphragm and pushes the lymphatic fluid through the body. Deep breathing is another super important way to pump the lymph and get it circulating. In fact, it’s kind of like the ‘heart’ of the lymphatic system. Download my 7 rounds of 7 audio (free as part of my free Online Juice Fast) and do this three times a day. Not only will your lymphatic system be loving you, but you’ll expel loads of acid and oxygenate your body.
