Your lymphatic system is one of the many important cleansing
parts of your body, along with your liver. Both of these systems
keep your blood healthy, your digestive system humming, and help the
body detox from harmful substances the natural way that nature
intended it to do. However, sometimes lifestyle choices that don’t
serve us well or harmful foods can all cause a slow down of lymph,
which is a fluid that goes through your body and is part of your
cardiovascular system. But lymph affects all parts of the body and
is affected by others, such as the digestive system, as well.
View your blood and digestive system as something that needs your
help daily by eating beneficial foods and consuming water-rich
drinks to keep it moving well, along with regular activity. While
exercise and even hot showers and massage can all stimulate lymph
flow, food choices shouldn’t be ignored.
The Lymph System and Your Health
Signs your lymphatic system may need some assistance include
headaches, sluggishness, inflammation, poor digestion, mucus
build-up, and general stiffness. Be sure to avoid dairy foods that
slow lymph down, along with processed foods, sugary foods, and foods
high in oils. These can all be clogging to the body, while the foods
below all possess natural cleansing properties that also energize
you to keep you moving. Since movement acts like a pump for the
lymphatic system, you just can’t go wrong with these foods!
1. Citrus
Citrus is one of the most detoxifying foods you can eat,
specifically lemons, limes, navel oranges, tangerines, blood
oranges, and grapefruit. These foods all possess powerful enzymes,
along with Vitamin C, that support the body and keep digestion
flowing. Enjoy one -three serving of these daily, whether that’s the
whole fruit as a part of a meal or snack, the juice squeezed into
water or onto salads or entrees, or wedges of the fruit used in
smoothies. Be sure to buy organic since toxic chemicals lie in the
peels. Citrus fruits are also good for your liver, so they’re just
overall great when trying to keep your body running smoothly.
2. Berries
Berries, especially cranberries, are rich in detoxifying benefits
that cleanse the system and also add hydration for healthy lymph
flow. Since lymph helps the body filter toxins, it’s important to
eat foods with anti-bacterial benefits such as cranberries. Of
course other berries are also great, so choose whichever ones you
enjoy and eat them daily. See all of our berry recipes for ideas to
work them into your meals and snacks.
3. Greens
Greens remove harmful chemicals and toxins from our body we
encounter daily and they also nourish our cells to detoxify the way
our body wants to. They also provide nutritional support with
Vitamins A, C, and K, along with iron, magnesium, B vitamins, and
protein. Try this detoxifying (yet tasty) smoothie featuring some of
nature’s most delicious cleansing ingredients.
4. Sunflower and Pumpkin Seeds
These seeds provide magnesium to support the nervous system and
healthy fats to lubricate the body and promote lymph flow. They also
help scrape the digestive tract from toxins through healthy fibers,
which keeps your body from toxic-build up that can block lymph flow
due to slow digestion. See more benefits of eating pumpkin seeds
here and toss a few into your next bowl of porridge, use them to
bake with, or add them to smoothies and raw trail mix.
5. Chia, Hemp and Flax
Like pumpkin and sunflower seeds, these seeds are full of omega 3
rich fatty acids, which are excellent for lymph flow. Hemp seeds are
also a good source of chlorophyll, nature’s best cleanser, so be
sure to include a bit into your daily diet. Their fiber also keeps
the body’s processes moving and flowing naturally, and will help
your heart stay healthy. Enjoy them in oatmeal or sprinkle them onto
a smoothie or entree. Healthy fats like these also help your body
absorb nutrients from other foods that the lymphatic system needs to
work well.

6. Herbs and Spices
All herbs and spices are amazing for cleansing the body. Turmeric,
ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, coriander, and black pepper being some
of the best. These foods also contain antioxidants that benefit the
brain and can help the digestive system working well, which benefits
lymph flow. Garlic is another powerful spicy food that also comes
with the same benefits.
7. Seaweed and Algae
Spirulina, kelp, nori, wakame, chlorella, and dulse are types of
seaweed and algae your body love. They are not just cleansing for
the body, but are also incredibly nutrient- dense, providing high
amounts of iron, omega 3’s, Vitamin A, protein, magnesium, B
vitamins, iodine, and chlorophyll. Try to add a teaspoon of these to
your diet if you can. Spirulina can be used in smoothies, along with
chlorella, and dulse, wakame, kelp and nori all make great salad and
wrap ingredients.
Don’t forget to drink plenty of water and even vegetable juices if
you have access to a juicer. These hydrate the body and keep things
moving along the way your body prefers. Don’t let your health suffer
from poor lifestyle and diet choices. You deserve the chance to feel
well as much as absolutely possible, so get up and move daily, try
some yoga, get some fresh air, enjoy that hot shower, and fill up on
these foods!
