The lymphatic system is a much ignored network that runs through your body and acts as the body’s cleansing system, flushing out toxins. When the fluid running through the lymphatic system grows sluggish a back-up of waste creates an environment where diseases can easily take root. What keeps the lymphatic fluids moving? You guessed it, exercise and movement! Light massage also helps stimulate lymphatic flow.
