9. Avoid Toxic Beauty and Personal Care Products

You might not be aware of it, but many types of makeup, toothpaste, body lotions, face creams, deodorants, and other types of personal care or beauty products contain toxic, chemically laden ingredients that are absorbed directly into your bloodstream within minutes after you put them on your skin. These toxic chemicals go into your lymph system as well, placing an added burden on them and causing them to become sluggish. Use only natural, organic products that do not contain toxic preservatives or that are petroleum based.

10. Wear Loose Clothing

Wearing tight clothing, especially those made from synthetic fibers, can slow down the lymph system flow and even cause blockages. Lymph nodes are located all over the body, and there are multiple glands located around your waist and groin area, so be certain that you don’t wear tight underclothes or jeans that cut off your circulation, limiting the flow to and from the lymph system.

Keep these tips in mind and you won’t have to worry about your lymph system clogging up and causing you problems in the future. When your lymph system is working well, your overall health will improve, giving you more energy, less aches and pains, less swelling, and fewer toxic buildups in the body.

    I would add deep massages, preferably by someone who loves you.
