The lymphatic system a crucial part of our immune system – that is predominantly responsible for protecting the body against illness-causing invaders.

A lymphatic system that isn't functioning correctly can lead to repetitive illness, fatigue, depression, and even weight gain.

In this blog you'll learn how you can support your lymphatic system for better functioning.

• Immune system – produces white blood cells to monitor and destroy foreign invaders (bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungi)

• Transport and removal of waste – detoxes the body

• Maintains fluid levels in body – processes excess fluid from tissue and cells and returns it to the bloodstream once detoxified

• Absorbs fat from digestive tract – removes fats and proteins from intestines and transports it to bloodstream

There are a number of diseases and illnesses that result from incorrectly functioning lymphatic systems, but the overarching result is an increase in inflammation.

According to a report by Pahwa et al (2021), chronic inflammation can cause:

• Diabetes

• Cardiovascular diseases

• Arthritis and joint diseases

• Allergies

• Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease – reportedly the thirdmost common cause of death in USA in 2014.

• Avoid exposure to toxic chemicals – cleaning products, pesticides, smoking

• Drink at least 2 litres of water a day

• Maintain a healthy lifestyle through exercise and diet

When you expose your body to red light therapy your cells release nitric oxide.

Similarly to your blood vessels, increased nitric oxide is able to increase the flow rate in your lymphatic system. This means toxins can be cleared faster and your immune function can be restored.

Red light therapy is also able to provide rapid results by decreasing the inflammation caused by a poorly functioning lymphatic system.

The positive results of clinical studies regarding red light therapy for improving lymphatic function and reducing inflammation presents an opportunity to support the body’s innate ability to heal itself.

Through consistent red light exposure, coupled with a balanced and healthy lifestyle – you can essentially recharge your body from within.
