Like blood, the lymphatic system plays an essential role in the body.
Some inconvenience can be caused by poor circulation at this level, so be careful.
The importance of blood and lymph
The blood system is known to everyone.
It is vital to the body because it circulates in our body and supplies the oxygen and nutrients that cells need to function properly.
The blood can be likened to a highway within our body since in addition to this function, it must also carry wastes such as carbon dioxide (CO 2 ).
As for the lymphatic system, it is less well known.
It refers to the lymph which is a whitish liquid and which carries white blood cells.
Poorer in nutrients than blood, it is therefore richer in waste.
Lymph has an important role in the immune system since the liquid ensures the circulation of lymphocytes in particular known to retain microbes.
How to stimulate blood and lymphatic circulation?
The blood is subject, like the body, to the effect of gravity.
It is therefore naturally drawn downwards ie the legs and feet.
However, when the blood circulation is impaired, you may feel a feeling of heaviness in your lower body or pain.
It is therefore important to stop feeling these sensations in order to improve your well-being.
Having poor lymphatic circulation can cause you problems that are important to deal with.
The first consequence will be the poor drainage of the water that is between the cells of our tissues.
These then start to create swelling especially in the lower body.
It can also be manifested by edemas in the ankle, causing the sensation of "big leg / heavy legs".
Improving your blood circulation requires a healthy and balanced diet.
In addition, some foods are more effective than others.
Red vine, ginger, garlic, cayenne pepper, turmeric, Goji berries are among the recommended foods.
Likewise, green tea, salmon or watermelon have the same virtues.
Finally, for the sweet tooth, chocolate is also part of this list.
It is important to move because staying in one position for hours is not good for the circulation.
Take a break and walk regularly throughout the day. Likewise, play sports such as running or cycling.
It strengthens the heart and lowers blood pressure.
Finally, don't forget to drink regularly.
The diaphragm: the lymphatic pump par excellence
The last point concerns breathing.
Improving your blood and lymphatic circulation requires quality breathing.
It is important to understand that inhaling and exhaling are things that cannot be mastered.
Analyze your breathing and see if your belly bulges on the inhale.
When exhaling, breathe out through your nose and in sufficient quantity.
This will free your diaphragm.
