Try this Unbelievably Simple Way to Detox with WFPB Foods

Is Eating a WFPB Diet Hard?

The biggest problem I find with eating whole food plant-based is finding easy to fix, nutritious, and great-tasting recipes. Emphasis on the “easy!” Sometimes I just don’t feel like fixing anything, and grabbing snack foods like chips or cookies is my easy way out. Sometimes juicing gets to be too much. Making smoothies also is a lot of effort. But what if I told you there was an easy way to eat whole food plant-based meals?

In this article I will give you some tips to make your whole food plant-based prep quicker and your burden lighter. Trust me when I say that I know the feeling.

Gentle Dry Brushing To Better Move Your Lymph

The Lymphatic System

The lymphatic system is a vital part of the immune system. It comprises a network of vessels and organs that help filter fluids and remove waste from the body. Lymph nodes are an essential part of this system, and are located throughout the body in areas where the lymphatic vessels converge.

There are approximately 600-700 lymph nodes in the human body, which play a vital role in protecting us from infection.

Lymph nodes contain white blood cells known as lymphocytes, which help fight off bacteria and viruses. When we are infected with a pathogen, our lymph nodes can become swollen and painful as they work to rid our bodies of the invader. Keeping your lymph moving is critical to your health.
