- If you struggle with tiredness, brain fog, aching joints, constant sure throats, bouts of nausea, sinus issues, swollen lymph glands and headaches the chances are you have a sluggish lymphatic system. Unlike the heart, the lymphatic system needs a little more help from you to keep it functioning properly. It’s job, simplified, is to carry waste out of the body and keep the blood clean. If this does not happen we can get a lot of the symptoms mentioned above and they are all warning signs that the body needs a bit of extra help. Going from spring to summer is the perfect time to gently cleanse the body and move stagnation. If the body gets stuck, that’s when the disease process may begin. There are simple steps you can put into place to get back into balance.
- Drink more water- add cucumber, lemons, limes and berries to your jug of water to infuse vitamins and alkalising goodness as this helps to neutralise toxins and push them out the body.
- Add algae foods to your diet such as chlorella. Just a teaspoon per day in water can help to remove heavy metals and toxins out the blood. It also helps cleanse the liver and give an array of minerals too to boost your energy.
- Eat more melons and berries. Going on a higher fruit diet helps to cleanse easier especially when they are high the middle and drizzle with melted water content fruits such as watermelon and high anti oxidant fruits such as berries. This combination of goodness helps the body to remove unwanted waste.
- Ditch the processed foods. Anything that contains additives and preservatives is toxic to your body. Bacon, sausages, breads, cereals, cakes, biscuits etc. If you want a chocolate treat get some dates, remove the stone and add some almond butter to dark chocolate. Place in the fridge for 2 hours and they come out tasting like a snickers bar!! Delicious!!
Movement - the most important thing for your lymphatic system is movement - without this it remains stagnant. Walking, skipping, cycling, running, aerobics, yoga, Pilates, swimming- they are all an important part of cleansing your lymphatic system to prevent premature ageing and disease.
