The lymphatic system is part of the vascular system in the body, it is a large system of lymphatic vessels located right beneath the skins surface that carry a fluid called lymph.
The vessels are connected to lymph nodes, where the lymph is filtered.
This fluid contains infection-fighting white blood cells, it removes unwanted toxins, waste and fats that are circulated away from the digestive system.
1/3 of all lymph clusters are located in your neck.
Tonsils, adenoids, spleen and thymus are all part of the lymphatic system
The spleen is the largest lymphatic organ and acts as a blood purifier.
The lymphatic system drains all excess fluid or lymph that leaks out of your blood vessels into your tissues.
Most of the lymph flows up against gravity, towards your neck so the lymphatic system must rely primarily on the body’s musculoskeletal system to circulate.
Through movement and muscle contraction the lymph fluid is able to circulate and do the immune work it needs to prevent disease.
Move your body
Lymph vessels are activated when you move your body. All exercise and any activity that moves your arms legs and torso will help to move lymph.
Deep breathing from your diaphragm, focusing on deep inhalation through your nose from leading your lower ribs (which stimulates the thoracic duct to drain 75% of the body’s lymph) and exhaling out of your mouth.
