Take Time Out of Your Hectic Life to Enjoy this Summer Holiday
Happy Times and the 4th of July
The 4th of July is a time to celebrate our country's independence from Britain. For many people, this holiday is all about barbecues, picnics, and enjoying time with family and friends.
However, if you choose to eat a whole food plant-based diet, the 4th of July can be tricky. Most of the food typically served on this holiday is not vegan-friendly. Luckily, there are plenty of delicious vegan options that everyone can enjoy. From BBQ tofu skewers to watermelon salad, plenty of recipes will make your 4th of July celebrations special.
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.
