Many people start the new year with improving their health. An important first step is to detoxify the body. The lymphatic system is one of the ways that the toxins are taken out of the body. The lymph travels alongside the circulatory system.
It is a network of tissues, vessels, organs and lymph nodes which move a fluid called ‘lymph’ through the body. Lymphatic fluid is composed of white blood cells and chyle which is fluid from the intestines. The lymphatic system is a component of the detoxification pathways, immune system and helps in the utilization of dietary fat. Other functions of the lymphatic system are : protection against foreign invaders like bacteria, viruses parasites and mold. As the lymph moves through our body, the foreign invaders are passed through our lymph nodes where they are neutralized by immune cells.
