Remember that system?  It’s the system that is responsible for carrying the emulsified fat out of the interstitial space and carrying it to the digestive system. If your lymphatic system is not working properly then the emulsified fat can re-enter the fat cell.

So lets get to it… here are 3 things you can do to help your lymphatic system.

#1 – 30 minute walk

If you go for a 30 minute walk every day you’ll not only have good exercise but you’ll stimulate your lymphatic system (and digestive system).  The oscillation of the body up and down and the contraction of your muscles while walking will “pump” your lymph and thereby get they liquefied fat out of the interstitial space.  Plus the walking will burn a few extra calories. Plus it’s a nice relaxing activity.

You need not walk hard or fast.  A simple causal walk will do the trick.

#2 – A small trampoline

Do you remember those small exercise trampoline where some would do aerobics on them?

Those little trampolines were, and are, great for simply and gently bouncing up and down for.  Do this for 5 minutes and it will do the trick. Do it longer and you’ll give your calves a nice little burn.

#3 – Bouncing on the bed

Ok, so you don’t have 30 minutes to walk and you don’t have a small trampoline… now what?

Well, if you have a spring mattress then you can get the same benefit by sitting down on the corner of your mattress and just bounce up and down.  Do this 5 minutes.

Try these 3 things and you’ll see that just a few minutes could make all the difference in your results!
