The Role Of The Lymphatic And Digestive Systems
The lymphatic system and immunity
The lymphatic system is an incredibly important, yet largely ignored, system within our bodies. It has a vital role to play in:
• maintaining fluid balance in the body
• absorbing fat from the digestive tract
• acting like a garbage collection service, filtering the bloodstream of toxins and waste
• combatting infection – lymph nodes contain large amounts of white blood cells that overwhelm bacteria.

Here are a handful of amazing facts you most likely didn’t know about the lymphatic system:
1. It is made up of lymph, lymphocytes, lymph vessels, lymph nodes, the tonsils, the thymus gland, Peyer’s patches of the intestines and the spleen.
2. We have approximately three times the amount of lymph fluid in our bodies than we do blood.
3. Blood is pumped around our body by the heart’s contractions. In contrast, lymphatic fluid generally flows around the body against gravity. Three things help to keep it moving: the contractions of surrounding muscles during exercise or activity (this can increase lymph flow by up to 15 times); contractions of smooth muscle in the lymph vessel walls; and movements of the chest when breathing.
4. The most critical part of the immune system is in the gut – 70 per cent of all antibody-producing cells are found in Gut Associated Lymphoid Tissue (GALT), found in the intestine. GALT is thought to be the largest set of immune cells in the body.

Therefore, just by stepping up your level of activity and taking deep breaths, you will be cleansing your immune system!

The digestive system
The digestive tract is the group of organs in the body through which food and liquids pass when they are consumed, digested and eliminated. These organs include the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small and large intestines, rectum and anus.

In comparison to the lymphatic system, the digestive system usually gets more attention – but not necessarily without due cause. Nutritional medicine places a lot of emphasis on the proper operation of the digestive system in terms of its impact on our overall health and well-being.

This is logical, as obviously our bodies rely upon the food we eat and the liquids we drink for nutrients. Likewise, we rely upon the digestive tract to expel toxins from our bodies, which would otherwise be detrimental if allowed to remain. Moreover, the health of our lymphatic system is greatly affected by the state of our intestines, as is the liver and our immune system.

The digestive system is one of the most important systems of our body and its normal functioning is paramount to our survival. We take all our nutrition and energy from the digestive system, and its inefficiency can lead to lethargy and nutrient deficiency.

Lesson learned
What the above teaches us, is that it is critical that we do all that we can to protect our lymphatic and digestive systems and ensure that they are operating optimally. The day-to-day stresses that are placed on these systems by the modern diet, work pressures, family strains, lack of exercise and environmental toxins all lead to an incredible burden on both the digestive and lymphatic systems on a daily basis.

A regular exercise regime and a healthy eating regimen can go a long way to reducing this burden. However, sometimes our bodies need a little bit of extra help. Dietary supplementation can offer your body support, specifically at times of unusual strain.
