The immune system's major role is to protect the body from infections. A weak immune system cannot fight off infectious invasions and serious health issues can ensue.
Winter is approaching so now is the best time to strengthen your body’s defence mechanism.
Although we are more susceptible to colds and viruses in winter, we can take preventive measures to minimise the risk of falling ill or at the very least, facilitate a quicker recovery time.
How can we do that?
A good time to boost our immune system is in Autumn. Adopting a healthy lifestyle, wholesome nutrition, sufficient hydration, exercise and good quality sleep are important proactive preparatory ways. But there is another way to help us achieve a robust immune system and that is through Manual Lymph Drainage, a therapeutic treatment that plays a significant role in boosting the Immune System which is inextricably linked to the Lymph System.
How is the lymph system linked with the immune system?
The lymphatic system is part of the immune system and together they help protect the body against infections. The lymph system produces and releases white blood cells and other immune cells which act as sentinels that identify and destroy invaders such as bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungi that may enter your body.
Think of the lymph system as your body’s garbage system, a key player in your immune function, transporting lymph, a fluid containing white blood cells essential for fighting off infections.
It works very hard at keeping diseases at bay, filtering out toxic waste and flushing out harmful substances through the excretory system.
