Description
Description The lymphatic system, which runs throughout the body alongside the cardiovascular system, plays an important role in keeping our kids healthy. Young children are especially prone to immune and respiratory challenges and keeping their lymphatic system clear is part of helping them through those times. The lymphatic system is a network of tissues, organs, and a complex system of vessels and capillaries that run alongside the cardiovascular venous system. The tonsils, adenoids, spleen, and thymus are all part of this system, as well as over 600 lymph nodes. The lymphatic system is a vital part of our immune system. To help our kids be well and stay well, we need to help them actively take care of their lymphatic systems. The keyword here is active. The lymphatic system can t do all that work by itself. While the cardiovascular system has its own built-in pump, the lymphatic system is dependent on us to help keep it functioning properly by both breathing and moving. Any activity, especially vigorous walking, jogging, swimming, calisthenics, etc., helps their lymphatic systems pump lymph throughout the body, and also keeping hydrated by drinking enough clear, purified water every day helps to keep their fluid dynamics in shape.
