Benefit from Aerobic Exercise: Detox Your Lymph
One of the unknown benefits of aerobic exercise is that it helps detoxify the body. Aerobic exercise promotes sweating – and sweating encourages toxins to leave the body through the skin. Most don’t know it, but the body is really supposed to be eliminating two pounds of toxins each day – just through the skin. Aerobic exercise is needed to make this happen and it’s important that the skin is able to breathe properly to release those toxins, which can be easily accomplished by regular dry skin brushing.
Skin brushing is a technique where the skin all over the body is brushed daily, in the direction of the heart, to remove any dead skin so the skin can breathe freely. Dry skin brushing compounds the benefits of aerobic exercise by making sure that the toxins wanting to leave the body in the sweat can actually make it out the body.
In addition to helping the body remove toxins through sweating, aerobic exercise also stimulates the lymphatic system, which is a key detoxification pathway. Our lymph is similar to our blood in that it brings nutrients to our cells and removes waste from our cells. But, unlike other the blood which is pumped by the heart, lymphatic requires movement from exercise to function properly. The movement of aerobic exercise moves our lymph and keeps it from becoming stagnant and collecting waste. It also encourages the removal of waste from our cells. Just as water becomes dirty when stagnant, so too does our lymph.
Old lymph, and its accumulated waste from the cells, is deposited in the colon for removal from the body. So, to get the greatest detoxification benefit from aerobic exercise, you can also do colon cleansing to make sure the cellular waste is actually removed from your body. Many health problems are caused by a dirty colon in the first place, so cleaning your colon can also be an important health measure – one just as important as aerobic exercise.
