The lymphatic system is a network of nodes, glands and tubes that relies on muscle movement to flow and drain properly. Unlike our circulatory system, the lymphatic system has no pump to move the fluid. So if you are a couch potato, or just live a sedentary life, you probably have a congested lymph system.

The lymphatic system will also back up if you eat foods that don’t agree with you. For example, anytime I eat foods with a lot of chemical preservatives especially when combined with white flour products, that bloated feeling I get is lymphatic congestion. The standard American diet tends to do this to people. Anyone who has dieted knows that when you start eating really healthy with lots of fresh vegetables and no junk, you lose at least 3 to 4 pounds of water. This is backed up fluid from your lymphatic system.

If this lymphatic congestion is chronic, parasites and other critters will move in because you will have become a great home for them. Another common condition that trashes out the lymphatic system is leaky gut.
