We’re beginning a new section with this post.\u00a0 For the next few posts, we’ll be discussing the different body systems.\u00a0 The first system to be explored is the immune system.<\/p>\n
The immune system is the group of organs and glands working together to protect you from colds, flu, infections, slow-healing wounds, as well as more serious diseases.<\/p>\n
The major parts of the immune system include the lymphatics, thymus, tonsils, appendix and spleen.\u00a0 The thymus is actually an endocrine gland but works with the immune system.<\/p>\n
Think of the\u00a0 lymphatics as the sewer system of the body.\u00a0 If you are to stay healthy and not have colds, flu, infections, etc., it’s important to keep the lymphatic system clean and functioning properly.\u00a0 The lymphatics are a system of vessels located throughout the body running parallel to the circulatory system.\u00a0 They collect toxic waste that seeps out of the blood vessels, control the fluid levels in body tissue, and absorb fats from the digestive system.<\/p>\n
They drain the toxins into the lymph nodes which are located throughout the body.\u00a0 If you look at a map of the lymphatic system, you’ll see that there are more nodes located closer to the head and heart than lower down on the\u00a0body.\u00a0 This leads many professionals to believe that one of the jobs of the lymphatic system is to protect the brain.<\/p>\n
The lymph glands don’t have a pump.\u00a0 (The circulatory system has a pump:\u00a0 the heart.)\u00a0 As we move our bodies, we move the lymph.<\/p>\n
In the next post, we’ll continue with the lymphatics as well as the other parts of the immune system.<\/p>\n
As always, thanks for reading this blog\/book.\u00a0 Please contact me if you have any questions or comments.<\/p>\n
This post is coming to you from my healing space in Woodstock, NY.<\/p>\n
Peace and food for all.<\/p>\n
