Episode notes
Lymphatic System Is Immune Infrastructure
- The lymphatic system is more than a drainage network; it is integral to immune defense and inflammation regulation.
- It transports infection-fighting white blood cells and includes nodes, spleen, tonsils, and thymus.
No Pump Means Movement Required
- Unlike the cardiovascular system, the lymphatic system has no central pump and depends on movement, breath, and muscle contractions.
- This lack of a pump explains why modern sedentary lifestyles often cause lymph stagnation.
Reduce Lymph Stagnation Risks
- Avoid prolonged sitting and support lymph flow with regular movement to prevent stagnation.
- Address hydration, mineral status, and avoid tight clothing to keep lymph fluid moving.
