In the process of chronic or acute diseases, the lymph flow becomes clogged with various microbes, viruses, and toxins, and during a diet remains the breakdown of fat cells out.

Cleansing the body, the lymphatic system pumps out about 2-4 litres of waste and intercellular fluid per day.

However, with age processes in the lymph flow, gradually slow down, which increases the destruction of its normal functioning. Failures can also be caused by improper nutrition, which leads to a suspension of fluid output at the required time in the required volume.

Poor functioning of the lymphatic system leads to the accumulation of fluids in the body, and the lymph nodes become clogged and overloaded with waste products of toxins. The result is a disruption of metabolic processes and a significant blow to the immune system - in this case, even a minor infection is fraught with exacerbation of chronic diseases and the development of acute ones.

How does lymph flow work?

The lymphatic system is an ideal natural mechanism that removes and neutralises body waste and pumps out excess fluid from it. During various, both acute and chronic diseases, various toxins, viruses, and microbes are dumped into it, and during the diet, it absorbs the remnants of the breakdown of fat cells. Normally, the lymphatic system pumps out 2 to 4 litres per day of intercellular fluid and waste, cleansing the body.

However, lymph flow slows down as a person ages, and the lymphatic system ceases to cope with its work. Improper nutrition contributes to malfunctions: tissues stop removing fluid in the required volume at the right time, swelling of the legs occurs, puffiness of the face, bags appear under the eyes.

If the lymphatic system does not work well, fluid accumulates in the body, the lymph nodes become overloaded and clogged with toxins and decay products, metabolic processes are disrupted and the immune system suffers: any, even minor, infection can lead to the development of acute diseases or exacerbation of chronic ones.
