7. Foods To Avoid

If you don’t fill your body with junk, it is much less likely to get itself clogged with toxins, heavy metals, and chemicals it does not need. Avoid the following to help keep your lymph system running at its optimal best:

Candy
Baked goods (which contain sugars and white flours)
Refined grains (whole grains are fine)
Artificial sweeteners
Refined sugar
Lots of red meat (especially conventional meats)
Artificial colors
Preservatives
High amounts of sodium
Foods with trans-fats (such as margarine)
GMO’s
Refined oils such as corn, canola, or soybean oil

8. Hot/Cold Showers

Alternating between hot and cold water when you are in the shower every few minutes has a very beneficial effect on your blood circulation, meaning it will also positively affect your lymph flow. Heat causes the blood vessels to dilate, and cold will cause them to contact. During the last two minutes or so of your shower, run the hot water as hot as you can stand it without burning yourself for 30 seconds, then cold water for 30 seconds. Repeat two or three times for best results. Do not try this therapy if you are pregnant, if you have a heart condition, or if you have either high or low blood pressure.

9. Deep Breathing Exercises

This is another simple, yet effective way to bring more oxygen to your body and stimulate all organs to work more efficiently. Deep breathing exercises, twice each day, will stimulate the lymph flow, eliminating toxic build up. Deep breathing not only helps your lymph system, but it can also improve the health of every single cell in your body.
