Do you know about your lymph and what it does for your skin?
Isabella LandebackThe lymph system is often called the forgotten body system because most people have never heard of it. If you have heard of the lymphatic system, it is usually in a rather boring context with cancer and that the lymphatic system has been damaged. The lymph system is one of the body's major cleansing organs and an important part of our immune system that protects us against disease and other damage. Our lymph nodes are located in smart places, which are stimulated when we walk, for example the neck, armpits and in the groin. These places are stimulated extra much when we move. In short, when the muscles contract and relax, the lymph nodes are also pressed together and stimulated, you could say that the muscles are the heart or pump of the lymphatic system.
An underactive lymph can cause skin problems such as dry skin, blemished skin, rashes, cellulite, etc. In the next few days, you will learn what you can do to stimulate your lymph in the best possible way!
This is what lymph does:
» Eliminates viruses and bacteria in our bodies.
» The immune system helps us fight infections.
» Transport substances such as cells, proteins and waste products around the body and the cells called lymphocytes which are a type of white blood cell.
» Lymph removes toxins and excess fluid from the body's cells.
