 Diet and Lymph

    A balanced diet, high in fresh, organic vegetables with a balance of protein, fats, complex carbohydrates and some fruit daily will keep the lymphatic system very healthy. Daily consumption of sufficient fresh, clean water is also essential.

Vegetables and culinary herbs most helpful to move lymph: steamed mustard greens, bok choi, Spanish black radish, radishes, arugula, horseradish.

 In general, follow good dietary guidelines. Avoid refined sugars, processed foods. Include plenty of vegetables, good quality protein, and beneficial oils in your diet regularly.

 For further information on a healthy diet that will benefit not only the lymphatic system but your whole being, refer to my articles on foods for a healthy liver and general dietary guidelines.

Exercise

   As we saw earlier, exercise increases lymph flow ten to thirty fold. This is phenomenal and the good news is this means we can do a lot to help our lymph flow. Liver circulation is aided by exercise, particularly by movement of the abdominal muscles and diaphragm. As the diaphragm expands the chest, it compresses the abdominal cavity. The gentle compression of the liver with each breath aids circulation of the blood and lymph through the liver. Exercise such as walking, jumping on a rebounder 5 to 20 minutes per day, gentle running or other aerobic exercise and yogic or special breathing exercises help the liver and will also assist the lymph circulation. Swimming is an excellent exercise because it uses all the muscles and combines rhythmic breathing and movement.

    If you are bedridden, experiment with what body movements you can make in bed. Wiggle your toes, move your wrists, arms, feet, legs, torso.
