What is the lymphatic system?

We have tiny nodes throughout the body that work with our blood called the lymphatic system it is part of your body’s circulatory and immune systems. The blood system and lymphatic system is collectively needed to sustain a healthy body.

The main functions are to:

• Sustain healthy balance of fluid in the tissues
• Deliver proteins and digested fats to your cells for nutrients
•  fights infection via removing bacteria, viruses

What does it do?

It moves lymph fluid towards the heart through a network of lymph vessels and lymph nodes.

• Lymph fluid is a clear liquid made up of water, proteins and white blood cells that fight infection
• Lymph vessels transport and drain lymph fluid back to the blood system and the heart
• Lymph nodes filter out bacteria, viruses, other germs and waste, to keep you healthy

How many lymph nodes do I have?

There are hundreds of lymph nodes in your body. You have clusters of them in your neck, head, armpits, stomach and groin. When you’re fighting an infection, you may feel the lymph nodes swell up in your neck, just below your jawbone. The exact number, size and location of lymph nodes vary from person to person. This may be why one person develops lymphedema and another doesn’t, even if they both have similar risk factors.

What helps lymph flow?

blood is pumped around the body by the heart which makes up the circulatory system. The lymph fluid moves a little bit differently. It moves slowly, in only one direction, through valves in the lymph vessels. Rather than being pushed along by a big pump like the heart, what helps lymph flow is:

• Moving your muscles
• Deep breathing
• A special kind of gentle massage called manual lymphatic drainage

What restricts lymph flow?

Lymph flow is restricted by your body’s natural bottlenecks, where it bends at your knee, ankle, armpit, elbow or groin. It is also restricted by tissue injury, where you have bruising, swelling or scarring.

We can’t change our bodies, but we can change our habits. To help your lymph flow, try to avoid:

• Sitting or standing for long periods
• Sitting cross-legged
• Being inactive
• Wearing clothing with heavy elastic (that leaves a mark) at your waist, ankles, wrists or another part of your body
• Carrying excess weight at your girth
