During menopause, the health of the lymphatic system becomes increasingly important due to various factors that can impact overall health and well-being. In my new 'Am I Menopausal?', I've dedicated a whole chapter to this!
The lymphatic system is part immune informant, part fluid waste filter, and part cleaning service. If your lymph flow is polluted, clogged or stagnant, your cells are compromised. When cells are living in a toxic environment, they become full of inflammation and unable to get the oxygen and nutrients they need.
This system touches every other system and cell type in your body. Over the years I have so often found that my midlife clients are eating well, exercising and still they feel tired, unwell, and cannot lose weight. Lymphatics are the key. Clearing out the waste means that your cells can feed!
During perimenopause. with lower oestrogen levels, lymphatic and blood vessels lose elasticity and become stiffer. Over time this makes the job of both of these systems difficult and less efficient. As your hormones fluctuate, the lymph circulation and detox mechanisms especially the liver, have an extra workload. Working with your lymph system (and liver) is key to helping the body be more efficient.
