Greetings!
There is nothing like going through some personal or family health crisis to make you smarter! It's like getting a fire hose of information poured into you. I know many of you can relate.
I
've been doing alot of research on the Lymphatic System as it is tied directly into your Immune System.The Immune System
protects your body from pathogens and defends it from foreign materials.
The Lymphatic System is the network of vessels through which the lymph drains back to the blood as it flushes out toxins. Both systems work together to keep us healthy.
If we think of it in simple terms...
say we have some foreign material, bacteria, virus, pathogen, etc that enters into our bodies and we need to get it out! That is where the Lymph comes into play. It is through movements like bending, twisting, shaking and squeezing that this process can occur. This flushing process needs movement... and what better movement than Yoga to keep our Immune and Lymphatic Systems working together for our benefit!
Look at the photo of all the lymph nodes in our torso and where they are located. There are lots of them and they are our bodies vacuum cleaners!
When seasons change, we are in most jeopardy for getting sick. Keep your Immune System healthy and keep moving!
Namasate,
Sherry
