Here are 3 simple ways to keep your lymph system and bloodstream cleansed of toxins:
- Clean your blood using a detox program and liver cleanse at least twice every year;
- Stop ingesting ALL food chemicals (blood pollutants), such as food colorings, diet sweeteners, and hydrogenated oils;
- Make sure you exercise regularly, and try to sweat when you work out because this opens your pores and helps release toxins from the lymph nodes, particularly under the arm.
Sounds too easy, doesn’t it? Well, it is! It’s as easy as changing the oil in your car.
Pollutants can saturate your bloodstream and clog your lymph glands just like dirty oil in your car engine clogs the filters if not changed regularly. Your bloodstream is like the oil in your car, and your lymph glands are like oil filters. Maybe this is a crude comparison (no pun intended), but it helps you understand that your bloodstream and the glands provided to filter impurities from your blood, operate in much the same manner as the oil in an engine.
Your Immune System
The thymus gland, the spleen and other body organs produce immune system cells. These cells are then carried throughout the body via the lymph vessels to the lymph nodes, which store the cells to help create an effective barrier against infection. Immune cells can be damaged by free radicals, which are unstable oxygen molecules in the body. Free radicals can be generated in dangerously high numbers by poor nutrition, X rays, alcohol, aspartame and other chemical sweeteners, cigarette smoke, and pollutants. Vitamins help strengthen the immune system by neutralizing these cell-damaging particles. Exercise also helps maintain good health by promoting blood circulation and ensuring a plentiful supply of oxygen throughout the body.
What Time Does Your Body Clean Your Blood?
Did you know that every evening between 9 – 11 p.m. your body cleans your blood and eliminates toxic chemicals (detoxification) into your lymph nodes? So, spend this time relaxing, reading, listening to music, or sleeping. If you are still in an un-relaxed state between 9 – 11 p.m washing the dishes or finishing chores, getting the children ready for bed, or dancing at a nightclub, then this can have a negative impact on your health.
So, sit down and put your feet up in the late evening, detox your blood system at least twice a year, and stay active during the day to keep your lymph system running like a clean engine!
