Think of every cell in your body like a little car 🚙💨...
It needs fuel to run and just like a car, it creates waste that needs to be cleared out through the exhaust!... Even nutritious food gets converted into energy and leaves behind cellular waste!
Now imagine never servicing the car... 🚙💨
Too much sitting, not enough movement, low muscle mass, poor hydration, shallow breathing, stress, processed foods, medications, environmental toxins... eventually the body's "drainage system" starts to get a little congested, RIGHT?
Your lymphatic system is like your body's rubbish removal service. Unlike your heart, which has its own pump, your lymph relies on YOU to move it! Walking, stretching, deep breathing, sweating, muscle contractions and massage all help keep things flowing.
When everything starts backing up, fascia can become tight and sticky, circulation slows, nutrients have a harder time getting into cells and waste has a harder time getting out. That's when the body often starts whispering... with stiffness, aches, puffiness, fatigue and tension... unfortunately I see it all the time... our western world, hey!
The good news? Your body isn't broken. . . 💚 Most of the time it's simply asking for movement, hydration, rest, nourishment, deep breaths and a little helping hand to get things flowing again.
Move it. Breathe. Stretch. Sweat. Massage. Repeat!
Your body is your vehicle it totally deserves a service too! 😉
