The lymphatic system sits alongside the body’s cardio-vascular system quietly helping to maintain our health and well-being by performing three critical functions:
- Aiding the immune system in removing and destroying waste, debris, dead blood cells, pathogens, and other toxins.
- Absorbing fats and fat-soluble vitamins from the digestive system and delivering these nutrients to the cells of the body where they are used as fuel.
- Removing excess fluid – ‘lymph’ and waste products from the spaces between the cells and organs of the body.
- A compromised lymphatic system can lead to a range of health issues including tissue swelling, poor skin tone, excess weight, cellulite, and headaches.
