Jumpstart Your Body With Lympathic Drainage

br br br Exercise of the lymphatic system is probably one of the most important outcomes of a good physical regimen and one that we scarcely think about. br br The lymphatic network is part of the immune system and is made up of fluid (the word “lymph” is derived from the Latin word for clear water), lymphatic vessels, bone marrow (where immune cells are manufactured), lymph nodes, the spleen and tonsils. Interstitial fluid is pumped through this system via the muscles. Without muscle contraction, fluid diffusion is inhibited and waste protein accumulates. br br The detoxifying abilities of the lymphatic system are reduced by poor diet, stress and heavy metal and environmental toxicity, which may result in hormonal dysfunction, immune suppression and chronic degenerative disease. The lymph fluid also contains infection-fighting cells called lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell that is crucial in regulating and carrying out most of the activities of the immune system. If the system is weak, we are subject to the invasion of allergies, flu viruses and bacterial organisms. br br The lymph glands, located mainly around the neck, armpits and groin, indicate an infection is present by painful swelling and tenderness to the touch. Conditions such as arthritis, high blood pressure and depression have all been linked to poor lymphatic drainage. The lymph is the body’s waste highway. br br Jump for Joy…and Health br br So how do you exercise the lymphatic system? It’s as easy as jumping up and down. Working up a sweat on a mini-trampoline exercises not just your muscles but your cells, too. It’s called “rebounding,” and it could save your life because it’s great for the body’s internal disposal unit. br br Rebounding aids lymphatic circulation by stimulating the millions of one-way valves in the system. Jumping up and down improves the diffusion and peristalsis of interstitial fluid between the cells. Better circulation means better cell health. br br When you exercise vigorously, the lymph fluid speeds up from about 120 millilitres per hour to as much as 1,800 mlhour. This change occurs because when muscle contraction takes place, fats, glucose and glycogen are used up to leave behind carbon dioxide, heat, water, lactic and uric acid. It is up to the lymphatic system to make sure these pollutants are removed from the body. br br Are signs of cellulite starting to worry you? Keep jumping! In cases of insufficient surface stimulation, or where there is lack of aerobic or oxygen-producing exercise, the buildup of toxins in the surface tissues is called cellulite.
