Detoxify the Easy Way Using Your Own Lymphatic SystemDo you need to detoxify? Are you feeling sluggish? Then search no further, the lymphatic system is often overlooked but it is your body's greatest ally against illness and aging. Many aches and pains that people are dealing with today are due to the fact that their lymphatic system is either overloaded or shut down all together. These people are in serious need of detoxification. Your LS is the trash collector of your body. When it is working, all is well. You have energy, you feel good both physically and mentally. You have bluebirds sing to you as you step outside your home in the morning. OK, maybe not the bluebirds but trust me: get your LS in shape and you will feel like a new person. In a nutshell, this is how your lymphatic system helps to detoxify your body: You have lymph nodes stationed all over your body. As your cells process toxic materials that are delivered to your body by the environment, they dump the toxins out of their cell structure into the lymph fluid that travels through your body. The lymph fluid delivers the toxins to the nodes wherein the toxins can be harmlessly processed and eliminated from the body. Now picture a sewage system that is backed up - everything sits where it is and putrefies creating new more dangerous substances in your body.
How do you jump start your system?Detoxify using a good diuretic style tea. I've used Laci Le Beau's Super Dieter's Tea in the past when I needed a gentle herbal detox. She includes Senna in her products which stimulates digestive regularity. You will need to follow the instructions closely and use for 10 days or less. Also combine a healthy diet (there is a suggested guideline included in the package) and at least 30 minutes of exercise at least 4 times a week.Move - Start walking or rebounding (mini trampoline work) at least 30 minutes a day. If you can't exercise every day, at least try to do 30 minutes of activity 4 times a week. You will find that your body will begin to crave the activity and you will probably expand your exercise time or branch out into new types of exercise. Sleep - Follow a structured sleep pattern. You should be able to wake without an alarm. Trust me - this works. I wake up at 6:26 every morning without an alarm. Also, no sleeping with the TV on and no food right before bed. Both of those things are like trying to run your car's engine on molasses. You see, your lymphatic system doesn't include a pump and it isn't traveling along with your blood through your heart. Your lymph fluid is transported through your body by peristalsis which is movement provided by the smooth muscles in your body (intestines, esophagus, etc) and compression of the lymphatic vessels by skeletal muscles. Once you begin to wake up your system, you should start to feel improvement within a week or two. You will also notice compliments that you are getting from family, friends and co-workers.
